I did a very basic test:
<?php
set_time_limit (1);
print exec ('for file in `ls -R /`; do echo $file; done');
for ($x=0; $x < 1000000; ++$x) ;
echo "Foo!";
?>
The script runs, exiting with this message:
/var/yp/binding
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 1 second exceeded in
/home/zak/public_html/stl.php on line 6
It looks like the time limit does not apply to the executed program...
