I saw the post about
exec("nohup mp3123 -y -Z --all 1>/dev/null/ 2>&1 > &");
I decided to do a little test of my own because I would like to add this
functionality to some of my sites.
Here is my env:
Redhat 6.3
Apache 1.3.12
PHP 4.0.3
I wrote a little shell script to test with called sleep.ksh
#!/bin/ksh
sleep 30
DAT=`date`
print "Woke up at $DAT" > /tmp/outfile
I then wrote a little PHP script to test this in the background
<html>
<head> <title> Sleep test </title> </head>
<body>
<?php
print "Trying to exec";
exec("nohup ./sleep.ksh &");
?>
</body>
</html>
When I run it from the command line it works as expected and returns the command line
to me immediately.
When I run it from the browser it takes 30 seconds to run
Am I missing something? Is there a better way to run this?
Thanx in advance,
BEH
