the process 'tail' is still executing after the script exits. any ideas on how to stop it?
script is coded as follows:
#!/usr/contrib/bin/perl -w
#tailsyslog.cgi
$|=1;
$SIG{ALRM} = "timed_out";
alarm 120;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
open (IX,'tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log |');
while (<IX>)
{
chop $_;
print "$_\n";
}
close (IX);

sub timed_out
{
print "Operation has timed out. You will need to start a new session.\n";
close (IX);
exit;
}
