[Xitami] Unconditional execution of a CGI in html.

[rolinger]

What do you mean 'unconditionally execute a cgi program without user 
interaction' ???

CGI execution can only happen if someone goes to a website or clicks a link 
within a website.  I suppose you could make automated calls via javascript 
with onMouseOver, or onMouseOut (or even a few other ones).  However, all 
those techniques still require a user visiting the webpage just to 
initialize those actions.

Please rephrase, clearly, what is you are looking to do.
