Since you already using a detached task to run the batch job, if it's not too much work and the result of the batch job is not a requirement for the response, can you just pass your variables to the batch job?

I tried closing STDOUT and STDERR in the hope that Apache might notice, and clean up the session, but the browser remained waiting. I have a CGI script that send its page to the browser then has a "batch" job to do, which takes several minutes. At the moment I'm handling it by creating a detached task to run the batch portion but since the batch process requires access to the variables that built the HTML page it would be much simpler if I could manage it in one run of the CGI script. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
