on transistion immediately start a cgi task

I need to start a cgi task (ie run the cgi script and display the result in the browser) as soon as the task is transistioned to.

I don't want (rather the users don't want) to select start task from the task dropdown. I've tried setting immediate="t" but still no good. oh The cgi task is not the first task in the job. Thanks lee C

The immediate="t" attribute for cgitasks works only under certain circumstances:

1) It is a start task in the workflow AND is owned by the user who initiated the job.

2) It directly follows a usertask (or, I believe grouptask) AND is owned by the same user who owned the usertask

3) [in 5.5.2 possibly 5.0.1 SP2]: it directly follows another cgitask that is owned by the same user *and* the preceding cgitask script used TeamSite::CGI_lite::iwcallback()

I may have missed one combination - but basically in any other scenario - the cgitask is unable to fire off automatically and will require the owner to initiate it themselves from the To Do List.
