Verify not done in batch?
It appears that verifying links via nph-verify.cgi is done through forked processes (at least, this is what I perceive is happening). So, even after the nph-verify program has completed, there are still links being checked.

I observe this by running nph-verify from a telnet command prompt and, though the program says it is finished, there are continued messages indicating individual links status messages.

While the program works fine from a telnet command prompt, I am having difficulty getting a complete output through the Admin manager.

What happens (for me, anyway) is that nph-verify says -- Finished at xx:xx, and then closes up the html code (</body></html> ). At that point, I see no further output in the admin manager window.

Any way to work around this?

Yes, set $db_use_fork = 0. It should really default to 0 as the forked code is still buggy..

Cheers,

Thanks, Alex. I'd not recalled seeing that before in links.cfg (and, of course, you have it commented for just the reason I provided).

Thanks again!
