iwgen works only three times

Hi,
in a perlscript I try to create pages from dcr. it works fine with only one problem. when there are more than three dcr selected it stops/hangs after the third dcr.

The script loops the list of the selected dcr and call an iwgen command for each dcr.
i.e.:
my $cmd = "$iwhome/bin/iwgen -t $tpl -r $dcr $page";
my $ret = `$cmd`;

$tpl is the template-filename
$dcr is the dcr-filename
$page is the target-filename

There have been similar posts on this. The posts address the GUI, but it may help your issue. Basically, it talks about CGI processes that timeout.

Hi,
i beleive, it's not a timeout problem. I set the timeout to more than 3600 seconds. And one hour might be enough to generate 4 or 5 pages :-)

When i do the "regenerate" (like described in the devnet article), it works fine with with one to three pages.
More than three reproduces the same result: "ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE"
No timeout message. Nothing.
It neither works some of the selected files.

For the purposes of trying to debug this - could you ammend your script to look like this:

open(DBG, ">/tmp/dbg") || die " '/tmp/dbg' ($!)";
# begin loop ...
    my $cmd = "$iwhome/bin/iwgen -t $tpl -r $dcr $page";
    print DBG "[", scalar(localtime()), "]: CMD: '$cmd'\n";
    my $ret = `$cmd`;
    print DBG "[", scalar(localtime()), "]: RET: '$ret'\n";
# end loop
close(DBG);

And then post the contents of /tmp/dbg (or whatever you decide to name it).
