Asynchronous shell exec in PHP
I've got a PHP script that needs to invoke a shell script but doesn't care at all about the output. The shell script makes a number of SOAP calls and is slow to complete, so I don't want to slow down the PHP request while it waits for a reply. In fact, the PHP request should be able to exit without terminating the shell process.
I've looked into the various exec()
, shell_exec()
, pcntl_fork()
, etc. functions, but none of them seem to offer exactly what I want. (Or, if they do, it's not clear to me how.) Any suggestions?
If it "doesn't care about the output", couldn't the exec to the script be called with the &
to background the process?
EDIT - incorporating what @AdamTheHut commented to this post, you can add this to a call to exec
:
" > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &"
That will redirect both stdio
(first >
) and stderr
( 2>
) to /dev/null
and run in the background.
There are other ways to do the same thing, but this is the simplest to read.
An alternative to the above double-redirect:
" &> /dev/null &"
我在用这个,因为它是真正开始独立的进程。
<?php
`echo "the command"|at now`;
?>
On linux you can do the following:
$cmd = 'nohup nice -n 10 php -f php/file.php > log/file.log & printf "%u" $!';
$pid = shell_exec($cmd);
This will execute the command at the command prompty and then just return the PID, which you can check for > 0 to ensure it worked.
