Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I was unable to reproduce the problem. I ran two scripts with sleep statements, and one process does not appear to block the other. I also tried a long for loop in case it helped to reproduce by keeping the CPU spinning, and I also could not get one process to block the other. Finally, I tried three processes, since I was running the tests on a 2-CPU VM and wanted to make sure I tried the case where the number of processes exceeds the number of available CPUs. None of these test cases were able to reproduce your problem. All processes ran in the time expected. I appreciate your attempt to provide instructions to reproduce the problem, but either they are not detailed enough (you did not provide the exacts scripts to use), or you have a problem that only reproduces on your own machine, or there is some other factor involved here. I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. If you do find a set of exact, detailed steps that others can follow to reproduce your problem, please detail them in this bug and set the bug status back to New. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html, if you're not aware of the information provided there already. ** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265983 Title: php5 cli one instance/process limit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1265983/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
