Re: [PHP] EXEC and SYSTEM delay

2009-07-23 Thread Sam Stelfox
Well if the server your running on is linux based (and I haven't tried 
this) you could try adding a nohup and background the task for example 
rather than doing:


system('updatedb');

try

system('nohup updatedb ');

It should background the task and let it continue running even when the 
php script finishes it's execution. Like I said I haven't tested it. As 
a side note I used 'updatedb' in the example because it was the longest 
running task I could think of off the top of my head and requires root 
priveledges... You really shouldn't run your scripts as root. *A public

I'm experimenting problems with a call that I made to exec or system. The 
problem is that the script await for the function finish and that take's a lot 
of time.

I need a way to use those functions in order to continue without await for it.
