Execution time problem

All, I've an interesting situation ... I have a command-line executed script which is designed to run other scripts by including them. Some of these other scripts are going to run for long periods of time (> 5 hours) ... so I have set the max_execution_time directive to 0 to avoid any time limit. The scripts execute correctly ... but (because of a bug in my code) ... the code looped and tried to include the script again. The 2nd time round - the script bombed out with the "Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ..." error. I know it executed once correctly for 12 hours ... yet on this second loop - it failed to run properly. Any idea why? My code is simple: while($db1==1){ include($scriptname); $db1=0; } (before you ask about the reason for a single loop - it's a bit of test code so will be extended later to loop as many times as necessary). Cheers, Michael.
