Same behavior with:
<?PHP
session_write_close();
//Simple example to reproduce problematic forking
exec("ping localhost </dev/null >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &");
?>

Description:
------------
When forking off a process from PHP with the statement exec("command >
/dev/null &"), the process will get killed when the httpd is closed.
Note: This occurs even though ps is telling me that the parent process
id is init (parent process id 1).
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?PHP
session_write_close();
//Simple example to reproduce problematic forking.
exec("ping localhost > /dev/null &");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
A continuous ping process should be running in the backgroud,
independently of httpd. When httpd is closed, the ping (or whatever
relevant) process should keep running.
Actual result:
--------------
When httpd is closed, the ping (or whatever relevant) process dies.
