Hi,
Well there are many ways to run a process in the
background, my favorite way is detaching the process
or the program or process from within, so if it's a c
program pretty easy, but incase you dont have the
source, then you can use this:
exec("mp3123 -y -Z --all 1>/dev/null/ 2>&1 &");
well that simply puts the stdout and stderr in the
same file /dev/null, and puts it into the background.
