Hello -

I believe that when a person presses the STOP button, or exits a browser
session in any way, the running process is killed.  If a script is being run
that generates that web page, then it will abort somewhere in the middle.

I also believe that by using SIG and/or eval, I could have the program clean
up before exiting.  I'd rather stay away from this if I could.

Is there any other way to force a script to complete even if the browser
'STOP' button is pressed, or also if the browser is exited?

If anyone has examples of their experiences/solutions to share, paticularly
that involve MLDBM/DB_File database commits via web pages, I'd be greatful
(or is that grateful?)

Thanks,
Steve Keith
