I need some help understanding this question: How can you complete the Webware installation on this external box? I'm assuming you can't get to a prompt on the machine, otherwise you'd be able to start the application server...
If you manage to install Webware from FTP or SCP access only, you can always use popen() from within a servlet to execute any command as if you were in a shell. So you could have a servlet handled by OneShot that starts up the persistent application server. Hope that helps - Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Aditya Gilra Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 11:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Webware-discuss] Start long-running process from web request? ||Shriharih|| God-Remembrance. I wish to run Webware via cgi on an externally hosted server where I can't start a long-running process myself and my provider is not willing to start it for me. OneShot.cgi would be too slow. Is there a way to make WebKit.cgi start the long-running process (the webware server) if it is not running already. This way there's a speed and resources penalty only the first time and not later. WIll this create any security problems? Grateful if you could help. Best Regards, Aditya Gilra. Gita Press, P.O. Gita Press, Gorakhpur - 273 005, India.
