Execute in background

    I'm quite sure I've asked a very similar question, but I just can't seem to make my thing work...

    I am going to execute a script through cron. When it is complete, I want it to execute itself again (then current one will die) in the background.

    How do I make it run in the BACKGROUND instead of the first one waiting for the output of the second execution to finish?

    Hello

    You could try:

    exec('/usr/bin/php phpfile.php >/dev/null &');

    Of course, that requires that Safe Mode is on :)
    But it is a very good method.
    I just found another thread handling about this here.
