AbydosGater Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hey guys, I was to run a small script but its an infinite while loop so i cant do it in the browser. I plan on using exec() to run it.. But then if i want to stop it.. how would i stop the script? Is there a different function i could use to kill the process?

AbydosGater Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks for the link, But i dont want to set a time limit on it.. I was wondering if i could have a different php script that when ran would kill the exec()'ed script? So i can end it when i want, not on a time limit.

trq Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 You'll want to find the pid of the script running and kill that. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82835-ending-an-execed-script/#findComment-421425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP_PhREEEk Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 If you're running it through shell, I've had great success using a screen instance. When you kill the screen, the script will die too. Works great for me... I do a lot of these things all the time.
