I read in php manual that set_time_limit() affects in fact max_execution_time. You can see in my example code I wrote in my initial post that I set it to 100k secs. Php don't run in safe mode so it should go fine.
What I don't understand is why my php script dies while executing the shell script. Set_limit_time should make it wait. The build.sh script completes well.
