Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33505&edit=1 ID: 33505 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: osama at wayout dot net Summary: proc_terminate does not really kill terminate the process -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Program Execution Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.1.0b2 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: As of PHP 7.4.0, the first argument to prop_open() can be an array, in which case no shell is involved at all, what should solve your issue. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-29 10:18:51] osama at wayout dot net Description: ------------ I am using PHP5.1.0b1 As per the documentation, proc_terminate should send the process started by proc_open a specified signal. However, practically speaking, it actually sends the signal to the shell (/bin/sh) process and not to the process that was started by the shell. This usually causes a problem since the signal never reaches the actual process and hence it never terminates (i.e. or receives the signal). For example, when sending the SIGTERM to a process started by proc_open, only the /bin/sh process terminates while the main process (tcpdump in my case) never terminates. I am using pipes to communicate to the process. Reproduce code: --------------- Not needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33505&edit=1
