running a cgi script even when browser is closed
hii, i have a cgi script file which may take some hours to complete. The script logs the output and mails the user. so the browser need not be open for the output. But currently the script dies off the instant the browser is closed or other pages are viewed. Is there a way out .. ?
i have started a shell script which will exec this script file in background. But even then the script exits, when the browser is disturbed.

If I have a Perl CGI script (script01), which fills an array(s) with information and outputs a HTML page with a link to another CGI page (script02); is there anyway to pass the array(s) from "script01" to "script02" when the page visitor clicks the link?
Hope that makes sense!

HOBBITCGI.CFG(5) File Formats Manual HOBBITCGI.CFG(5)
NAME
hobbitcgi.cfg - Command-line parameters for the Xymon CGI tools
SYNOPSIS
$BBHOME/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg
DESCRIPTION
hobbitcgi.cfg(1) controls the commandline options passed to all of the Xymon CGI tools through their respective shell-script wrappers. Typ-

files.
The exact set of commandline options available are described in the man-page for each of the CGI utilities.
The file is "sourced" into the shell script wrapper, so assignments to the CGI-specific variables must follow standard shell-script syntax.
