Coronal688: All my scripts are in the /cgi-bin/ directory where apache2 looks.

DGPickett: vlc is just a the program I am testing to see if I can successfully run a program from cgi-script. It isn't what I need to run. I tried "nohup xterm -display :0.0 -e vlc & 2>/dev/null" but nothing different happened.

It is as if 'xterm -display :0.0 -e vlc' is just skipped. The actual script I am executing is here: Crson Security - Redirect
