i'm pretty sure that's not the issue... i should be able to spawn/fork any kind of external app/process... "kill -9 pid", especially if done as root, should terminate the process...
i suspect that the issue has to do with zombie processes, and how php/pnctl_exec/etc.. operates. -----Original Message----- From: c...@l-i-e.com [mailto:c...@l-i-e.com] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2009 10:00 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] killing a child process from pcntl_exec There are functions/settings in pcntl docs about how to "listen" for specific signals.
