Starting a process on the server

    I want to be able to start a console program on the computer running my WAMP server.
    I want the program to run and stay running on the machine not go away when the page is closed.
    I have tried system() and ecec() and have not been able to get them to work the way I want them to.
    Maybe I am calling them the wrong way. Does anyone have any other thoughts?

    # ./command &

    Puts the command background on the console running and makes the current terminal free. You can try that.

    Thanks, I'll give that a try, but I need something that will work both on Linux and Windows if possible.
