If ps ax and /proc are not enough info for you then you'll need to code whatever else you need into your script. > This program I'll make will be run in infinite loop.

The cpu usage will be determined more by what you make it do when it's not sleeping than when it is. > Is there any real examples. Yes, I already gave you the url: http://php.net/pcntl There's an example right there on the page. It lets you handle hangups, restarts, etc. Copy and paste that and add your own code in the while(1) loop. > I read on devshed article about TCP socket > listenig, but I don't like this.
