Error Running Exec() To Kill A Process
Red Hat Linux 7.3, Apache 1.3, PHP 4.3.3 I am trying to create a PHP script to terminate a process that is running on the server. The file and folder permissions are set correctly, but I am getting the error "kill 943: Operation not permitted"; I am running the command "exec ("/bin/kill 943");".

How Can I Kill A Running Child Process When Client Closes Connection
running PHP5 under Apache 2.2 (prefork) as module, I call a Python script that does a sometimes lengthy MySQL query, using parameters supplied by the browser client. When the query takes too long, the user may want to press the STOP button and issue a different query. But the previous child process will run to completion in any case, wasting server resources at the very least. In the current setting there seems to be no way to forward the user action to kill the child process. The system() call is blocking, and the only chance to see the closed connection in the PHP script is after it has returned. Is there a work-around? I'm advised not to use the pcntl_fork() etc. in embedded PHP. Are there other possibilities? Please don't say I should have done everything directly in PHP, without a system() call. I'm much better in Python, that's the reason why, and also I think the call to execute_query (or whatever it is called) directly from within PHP will block as well. Any suggestions, best proven real-life solutions, are welcome. I thought this must be an everyday problem, or?

Kill A Process
I run an Internet TV station, and im using a piece of software on the server to stream content to the shoutcast server. This all works fine. But what is getting at me is the fact that if i want to kill the process so i can broadcast from my local machine i have to log in via ssh and kill them manually. I already know the php commands to kill a process and also to list the running processes, but i was wondering if it was possible to get the php code to store the PID of the program upon starting so that when the "kill" button is pressed, it reads the string from the database/text file etc. and kills that process only.

Running An .exe File Using Exec() Or System(), Unable To Fork Error

How To Kill Process Started By User?
Let us suppose that PHP file contains cycle which will never stop. For example: while ( 2==2 ) { some usage of database; } User which opens this PHP page runs time consuming execution of the cycle. My question is whether this execution will be automatically stopped after user closes the PHP file (or closes his browser). I suppose that answer is "No", since PHP is server-side application. How than I can find such processes and kill them by hands?

Exec Background Process
I want have PHP call another process (another PHP script at the moment but it may end up being a binary) in the background and not wait for process to complete, but rather instantly jump the the next line of code. I've tried things like: exec("./script.php &"); // script.php has executable permissions set exec("at -f ./script.php now"); // and #!/usr/bin/php at the top of the code Neither seem to work. They both execute script.php, but both hang around until script.php has completed.

XP Exec Background Process
I was trying to exec a background process on XP using PHP CLI, but could not get it to work. Suppose the command I want to spawn off is "cmd". On *nix, it is as easy as putting ampersand "&" at the end of the command. I tried the following on XP without working. exec("cmd"); exec("cmd >NUL"); exec("cmd /c cmd"); exec("start /b cmd"); I tried many combination, but on each one, PHP waits for cmd to exit before continuing. Doing this in Windows script host (cscript) is simple: Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "cmd", 0, False The "False" parameter causes the Run method to continue immediately without waiting for the command to finish. So I could make my PHP file exec a VBS file that does the actual background execution of my command. PHP exec documentation says it will not wait if output of the command is redirected somewhere, but this didn't seem to work for me. If anyone has experience in doing something like this on Windows XP SP2,

Security In An Process Started With Exec
The php script that processes user input from a form, starts a new process using exec. In my case, the process may contain arbitrary, user defined functionality. How do I ensure that that process doesn't do any harm? Is there a way to define a sort of sandbox that the process can run in, so it won't be able to access any unauthorized resources, or do some other damage to the server?

Continuously Running Process
Would it be a high load on a server to have a php process run from the executable, continuously looking for existence of files in a folder and processing them if they are there? Just an endless loop that checks for the existence of the files. If they are there, do something with them, if not keep looping? It is not a web accessible application but something for server admin.

Exec() Not Running
I just installed ImageMagick on my development machine (OS X 10.4.7, Apache 1.3, PHP 4). I am trying to use exec() to call it. I have created a command via PHP: PHP Code: $cmd = "/usr/local/ImageMagick-6.3.0/bin/convert /Library/WebServer/Documents/one.jpg -resize 250x /Library/WebServer/Documents/photos/two.jpg" exec($cmd, $output, $retVal); I know ImageMagick is correctly installed because when I run the command via the console, it works perfectly. The "photos" directory is chmod'ed to 777. The paths are correct. I have tested a simple "ls -l ." as the command, that outputs everything just fine. Is there somehing I'm not doing right? Someting I need to disable or enable? I've gotten this exact code to work on a different server (GoDaddy of all places) so I'm quite certain it's not the code itself.

Best Way To Structure A Continuous Running, High Load Process?
I have a web app that needs to continuously upload large amounts of data to a server. What to upload and when to upload it is stored in a database, but it needs to do this continuously, and needs to be pretty fault resistant. I was thinking cron jobs, but it really needs to run all the time, not at regular intervals. Is there some way so I can make it so it runs constantly, processing it's queue? Also, could it use a new process to handle the queue items? So if there are three items in the queue, it will make three processes, but still keep processing?

CGIWrap Error: Exec Format Error
This message usually indicates there is a problem with the script itself. Often this indicates either that the #! line of the script is incorrect, or the script was uploaded in binary mode instead of ascii mode. Check to make sure that the script does not have control-M's at the end of every line. That will prevent it from executing. An easy fix that takes care of this most of the time is to put '#!/.../perl --' instead of '#!/.../perl' on the first line of the script. This is typically a problem if the script was edited or uploaded from a DOS/Windows/Macintosh station to a unix based server. If you are not the owner of this script, please forward this error and the URL that caused it to the script owner. That is often the component in the URL right after /cgiwrap/. does anybody know what does this message means?

Exception Handling - Standardise Error Reporting Process
I work on a site with a large code base, for which which have our own error handling classes. We've decided to start using php5's exception handling mechanisms but as i look into it, i wonder when this is the right thing to do. We want to use it to standardise our error reporting process, and to make sure failed bd queries are logged. As i've started though i've realised... If i throw an exception in the DB class, and make the code using the class responsible for trying and catching, it means we'll have to go through the whole of our site adding try/catch blocks wherever we try and access the db. If we miss one, and at some point throw an exception, we'll get a fatal error which is the worst scenario. Alternatively we could make the DB class responsible for handling the whole situation as follows. Code:

Using Exec Function To Get A .exe Return Status Gives CGI Error
I'm trying to make a web page to work. It worked before so it has to be something related with the configuration. My problem is a call to a compiled executable (made for me) that returns 1 or 0. It does not print any text to the standard ouput so the error is strange: CGI Error: The script can .. because of the HTTP headers (I have it in spanish so the message is not the exact one). As supposed, the HTTP headers are needed only if the executable prints out a text to the browser but it's not the case. And (I repeat) It worked as it before. The machine had to be formatted and the guy in charge of that is not with me anymore.

PEAR::DB Kill The Script Or Crashes PHP ?
I've a strange problem using PEAR::DB (even with the latest version). Our PHP version is 4.3.4. The above line stop the PHP script execution or crashes PHP (I don't know exactly) when the script is runned throught the browser (so, via Apache) : $db = DB::connect(DATASOURCE); I don't have any error message, any traces in the Apache error_log... The page is WHITE... :-/ But, if use the linux console to cat the php script to apache (cat script.php | php) the script is running very well... If I use the native PHP PostgreSQL functions pg_*, everything runs perfectly (in console or via the browser) Do you have any idea to solve that problem (except from removing all the PEAR modules from our application) ? PS : We are currently removing ALL the PEAR modules from our application, but since the application is large this will take a while to do.

It can then look at the storage container (flat file, DB, whatever is appropriate in context), check to see if the requested semaphore is available, and if it is, acquire it and then mark itself as the owner. It can then check that it did in fact get ownership (as opposed to another process which attempted to acquire it at the exact same moment) before proceeding. Code:
