Hopefully this will be clear.
I've got a unix command-line app which I will be exec'ing (or some
other similar command) from a php script.
The special property of this unix app is that while it executes and
terminates quickly, only a single instance can be running at any one
time.
However, the php script can be called simultaneously and it is
possible that an invalid attempt to run two or more instances of the
unix app at the same time could be made.
Now, one possible solution to this problem is that the php script adds
it's request to run the unix app to a queue and their is some other
code which pulls a request off the queue, performs the operation and
returns the data back to the php script which made the request.
Are there other solutions that I have not considered?
