fork a new process

[DoDaDew]

hi,
I have this webspeed program generates some big reports. It takes way longer than the time-out of the web browser. So it would be nice to start a background process. The webspeed in on Window and the work needs to be done on Solaris. Any idea about staring a process in Unix from a webspeed program?
thanks,

Gang.

Why don't you look into creating a separate process queue DB table and then have a background process on the Solaris box that reads the queue table to run any outstanding jobs?

Later,
Gordon

thanks Gordon, I was going to do that if there is no other way.
