How can I cause PHP to fire off a unix program and NOT wait for a reply. Basically I want to use the "&" love the unix provides, but it seems that exec, passthrough, system and even ` ` all wait for a return despite my putting something like exec("/bin/scan &"); or `/bin/scan &`
*sigh*
write simple shell script wrapper that does it for you:
#!/bin/sh /bin/scan &
Then call the wrapper.
