I am trying to run a system command, and capture the output line by line using <?PHP exec(command,$array); ?> It works awesome, and does what I want to, but PHP seems to leave the command's process unfinished. In a zombie state. It is still present in the process table of my web server. Refreshing my browser creates another unfinished process... Does anyone know of an alternate function, or a way of ending the process once the command output has been received? thanx
