Re: Background process with perl and lighttpd

[jau]

The problem is, that lighttpd buffers all output until all process terminate.

Have you tried to flush the output stream?

This should do the trick:

sub flush {

    my $fh  = select( STDOUT );
    my $hot = $|;

    $| = 1;

    print STDOUT '';

    $| = $hot;

    select( $fh );

    return;

}
