Steve already answeared to your question, regaring PHP script
if this would be python script, you could run it by import'ing it
#a.py
print "in a"
------------
#b.py
import a # prints "in a"
print "in b"
------------
and of course other solutions
import os
if os.fork()==0:
os.execv("/bin/cmd_here", ["-blabla"])
else:
# parent here
or maybe using threading
>>> class FileWatcher(th.Thread):
... def __init__(self, filename):
... th.Thread.__init__(self)
... self.filename = filename
... def run(self):
... import time
... from os.path import exists
... while not exists(self.filename):
... time.sleep(0.5)
... print "not there"
...
>>> f = FileWatcher("/pool/xyz")
>>> f.start()
>>> not there
not there
not there
not there
not there
not there
not there
not there
not there
not there
not there
not there
>>>
