Re: stupid newbie question

http://php.net/exec You'll need to use & in the command to be executed. That command may or may not need to be wrapped up in a shell script to muck with stdin/stderr/stdout so that PHP isn't waiting for those to be freed up... Or something like that. I don't really understand it, I just know that programs that use stdin/stdout/stderr have to be treated funky. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
