[Zope-dev] Starting a new process

[Christian Ellguth]

Hi,

I have a lengthy operation in an external method.
I takes up to 2 minutes.
How do I prevent the browser from timing out?
At the moment I am creating a new process by calling "os.fork()"
and have that operation done in that new process.
At the end I call "sys.exit(0)". This worked fine with Zope 2.2.4,
but Zope 2.3 gives me an error message when calling sys.exit .
But sys.exit is the only way to end the child-process.

Can anybody tell me what's the best way to handle a lengthy operation in an
external method?

Thanks

Christian
