Actually it is a service i invented. :) The majority of our email systems are PMDF, and we have an IMAP based web interface for most users, but i need a web interface to PMDF to allow people to set/show forwards. The perl script will listen on an arbitrary tcp port. The client is a web page (in php or perl) that'll just connect to the VMS service, authenticate, then set or show the forward. The server is ugly cause it needs to create an intermediary DCL script. I could not find a way to do 'pmdf mail show forward rdejean' in one command line. I am aware of Apache for VMS, but the last time i used it, it was not a very stable webserver (perhaps a year or so ago). Has this changed? And to accomplish this task, my very small service runs as a privileged user to set/show forwards. I would rather not run Apache with such privileges. Any other suggestions on how i could accomplish this task are greatly appreciated... thanks! -Ray =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
