I am trying to run a daemon via php4 & apache2 (on debian sarge). I am using the command "exec('sh script.sh');". All works fine, my daemon (which I run with script.sh) is running. But when I stop apache, I can see that the daemon I ran previously is listening on port 80 (apache port). This does not happen if I run the script from a shell. How can I prevent these daemons from taking over port
80?

This happens with amule and giftd (haven't tried any others though).

this is my script:
#!/bin/bash
HOME=/var/www

case "$1" in
        start)
                /usr/bin/giftd -dq --home-dir '/var/www'
                ;;
        stop)
                killall giftd
                ;;
        restart | force-reload)
                $0 stop
                sleep 2
                $0 start
                ;;
        *)
echo "Usage: gift.sh {start|stop|restart|force- reload}" exit 1
esac

exit 0


the command used in php:
exec('./gift.sh start');

what I get when I stop apache, after I ran the script:
[router:/var/www/.giFT] racer% sudo netstat -np --ip --listen | grep 80
tcp   0   0 0.0.0.0:80   0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN   2522/giftd
