Hi,
I use PHP a lot for command line applications. In one of these
applications I get a hangup whenever a blocking function doesn't return.
I have been looking for the usual alarm() and signal handler solution.
After much digging I ran into the ext/pcntl extension which offers me
the signal handling I need, but I'm stuck with setting up the SIGALRM.
Is there a way to call the alarm system call?
Thanks in advance
