[log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 18 Nov 1996 13:18:19 -0500547_- That's test #1: will the date rollover while the machine is up (which,
unlike PCs and certain other platforms >;-) , is the normal condition of
the 3K)? Thanks for sharing; what version of MPE does your 922 run?

Test #2 is perhaps not as much of an issue for the 3K as it is for our
PCs et. al.: SETCLOCK to a few minutes of midnight 12/31/1999. Shutdown
and power off long enough for the clock to rollover. Restart. Again,
since the 3Ks I know of stay up 24 x 7, this is probably only a
consideration for those [...]41_18Nov199613:18:[log in to unmask]

I'm on MPE/ix 5.0 running Perl 5.001 as my CGI scripting language to the NCSA
server.  Here are some questions that I am having that I haven't figured out.

1.      When running a script, I am having perl print the <PRE> tag before I
call a MPE command via the 'system' command, then I print a </PRE> after the
program runs.  What I get is this:

MPE program output.
<PRE>
</PRE>

Why is it doing the system call to the ci first, then my two prints after?

2.      Is there a way to get this to work so that the commands that I tell the
script to run, will be run in the proper order?

TIA,

Kevin Newman

ps. someone else asked if the NCSA server crashes when using cgi scripts. I
haven't crashed it yet, and hopefully I won't either.  ;-)
(I think that the problem might have been his re-direction of $null into a
program when he was actually trying to get rid of the END OF PROGRAM at the end)
