ulimit with php

Does any know how to catch the signal sent to a process called by PHP? eg. $something = ulimit -t 30 -otherlimit; ./loop_to_death; ulimit should return something like SIGALRM I use exec() but it only give me the exit code (always 128+9), not the signal...... because i need to know the reason of ulimit to terminated that program whether is CPU time too much, or other limits exceeded I was delighted to see "proc_get_status" but unluckily the machine only have PHP 4.3.0 ......... (can't install PHP5 because something were missing... XML? forgotten) Please help! -- - Eddy Wong __________________________ inframatrix internet solutions http://www.inframatrix.com/ 正八Eddy Regular Octa-Eddy 　◢■◥■◣　 ◢◤　　■◥◣ ■　　　■　■ 尐貓： eddy@zitez.net ■■■　■　■ 尐谷： news://news.fixip.net/chat.ed ■　　　■　■ 尐梳化： news://news.fixip.net/ ◥◣　　■◢◤ 　◥■◢■◤
