Overview of CGI
Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs can be defined with any number of
programming languages. On a Unix/Linux machine, you’re likely to find CGI
programs written as Bourne shell or Perl scripts.
For more information see the discussion regarding
MinCGIStub
,
MaxCGIStub
, and
CGIStubIdleTimeout
in the Netscape Enterprise Server Performance Tuning, Sizing,
and Scaling Guide.
On a Windows NT computer, you might find CGI programs written in C++ or
batch files. For Windows NT, CGI programs written in a Windows-based
programming language such as Visual Basic® use a different mechanism to
operate with the server. They are called Windows NT CGI programs. See
“Installing Windows NT CGI Programs,” on page 348 for information about
Windows NT CGI.
NOTE
Under Unix/Linux, there are extra
CGIStub
processes running that
the server uses to aid in CGI execution. These processes are created
only during the first access to a CGI. Their number varies
depending upon the CGI load on the server. Do not kill these
CGIStub processes. They disappear when the server is stopped.
NOTE
In order to run the command-line utilities, you need to manually
set the
Path
variable to include server_root
/bin/https/bin
.
