Two possible approaches, if your responding to user requests to invoke
report generation I've used 'exec' with 'nice. The request is made by the
user, which then invokes the shell task, and then redirects to another page.
This page is automatically reloaded, on each time it monitors the status of
the shell task. I handled this by checking a "running_tasks" table, which
has some data about the invoked task, and a potential return code.
<?php exec("nice /path/to/cake shell"); ?>
If you're talking about non-user invoked tasks, investigate cron tasks.
Hope this helps,
Richard
