Re: Time limit for CGIs

[Henrik Rützou <hr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

you can't control CGI processing from the Apache because processing
continues even if the Apache is Timeout.

One way to capture long running processes is to make a log file where
you record program name and processing time.

You should be aware of processing time may be affected by many things
such as "cold start" of the Apache server, disk wait, cpu wait etc. So a
program that normally runs in microseconds may use several seconds to
complete from time to time.
