Could you just get the php script to send the commands to schedule it as a task to run via cron etc in say 1 minute into the future... that command would be done quickly.. and the server could continue..
i did something similar when i used NT/ASP. But i'm just a php newbie so i could be lost.. cheers Brendon -----Original Message----- From: gilrain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 8:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] exec() not exec-ing? > I'm back to square one, if I can't run that > script without the browser waiting on it to finish... For instance, is there a way for my PHP script to log into my shell account and *then* send the command? Since I can execute the script, but PHP can't, this would solve the problem -- if it's possible. gilrain -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
