I'm having a problem where my page is delivered on the network at the same time -- after the delay (I used wireshark to monitor this) What I want tried is: ui_print_header('please wait'); footer(); sleep(5); print "final\n<BR>"; I would have expected to see the header render, a delay, and "final". Its all happening after the delay. What I really want to do is: display "please wait" run a long command redirect to another page (after the command runs) marty On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 4:19 PM, Jamie Cameron <[1][email protected]> wrote: On 20/May/2014 09:27 marty leisner <[2][email protected]> wrote .. > When having a custom module in webmin execute time consuming commands, how > would I add a > "please wait" message until the command is finished (without user > interaction). > > I.e.: > > start_please_wait(); > system("long_command"); > stop_please_wait(); In some modules, I've had Webmin print out a series of dots (one per second) while performing some long operation.
