Josh, thank you for the link. I found a related post that MJD made on the topic (<a href="http://www.plover.com/~mjd/misc/dyana">http://www.plover.com/~mjd/misc/dyana</a>) and eventually got it working properly using the following line within the double-fork routine:
<br><br>exec("PATH_TO_ANALYSIS_PROGRAM '0041' >/dev/null &");<br><br>While 0041 is a temporary value, for my purposes it will be replaced with a variable that will go through quite a bit of cleaning since I did NOT get this to work trying to string it together such as:
<br><br>exec("PATH_TO_ANALYSIS_PROGRAM", "0041", ">/dev/null &"); # did not work<br><br>Thank you again.<br><br>- Glenn<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/9/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">
