Hi, I am having trouble with msg_exec. I want it to start the execution of a command which may wait for some time but i do not need openser to wait for the command to end in order to proceed with script execution. I tried this: msg_exec("command &"); and this makes openser process hang forever with a defunct child. Is there any way someone may suggest that i can make openser run a command and not wait for it to end? nohup does not do the trick also. Best, Dimo
