Hi Bob,

It's definitely MaxServers 0 that gets around the signaling issue when calling external programs.  High traffic with MaxServers 0 is working wonderfully for us.  It's used at FrozenCPU.com, Backcountry.com, Reliabemedical.com, any of the sites maintained by End Point are using that setup.saz

Here's a link to the commit about using wget:

I'm not sure where the main thread is about this problem, but it's in the archives.  Here is another post about the matter:

You may try searching for wget and Payment.pm or wget and Payment and see what turns up.
