RE: [PHP-DEV] How to star program backgrund?

I'm not sure your setup, but on most of ours, you can't run updatedb as the werb server user, updatedb usually needs to be run as root.... I'm not sure if you can run a program in the background either, anyone else want to comment? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Theodore Baschak - Gecko Internet Services http://www.gecko-internet.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -----Original Message----- From: php_list@citiz.net [mailto:php_list@citiz.net] Sent: June 28, 2000 7:07 AM To: php-dev@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DEV] How to star program backgrund?
