Does anyone know if Perl scripts have execution time limits in Lunar servers?

I have a perl script that builds html pages once per day and usually takes almost 1 minute to complete the job.

I have this script running in another hosting company and would like to move my customer to Lunar, but I need this limit to be High....

No, there are no specific limits at this time. However it will be implemented soon.

One minute should not be an issue though.

This is a good news for me and my customers.

I can tell you that some host company use these limitations but this deny the use of scripts like mine, that do not consume CPU since the time spent is mostly occupied by write/read disk processes.

Our Perl application write usually over 500 pages, so you can immagine how long the script
will take to write all....  but it will not consume CPU ticks since most of the time waits for file system to read and write the current page.   "[Smile]"

In any case, how long will be this time limit ?
any idea?

And what of trapping run-away CGI programs, or mass web based mailing without some form of "batch" control etc etc ?

It's good to see Lunar are going to apply run time limits. I won't use a shared server without it.

We are constanly monitoring the servers with a special program that takes care of that.. It is a difference with scripts that run long and scripts that have hunged / use 99% of the cpu.

Also the sendmail is monitored by a second system. Anyone sending out legitimate mailings will not be trapped.

It is useless to spam with our service, believe me Smile
