No, all of these things your are bringing up would cause the programs to NEVER work, not work some of the time or when the data they are processing is small.

Depends on the install. My cli uses a different php.ini than the web one. Did you check permissions? Does the user which your web server is running as have execute permission on the app?

I have two programs on two servers, and they both have similar problems. In each one, I use 'exec' to call a helper program. In one case, it is ecasound, which I use to resample an mp3. In the other, it is convert, which creates a thumbnail of a very large image the user has uploaded. In both cases, the exec command fails. Not all the time, but some times. In both cases, the command that is being called by exec will work fine at the command line. I assume that there is some memory / resource limit that is being breached when this happens, but I don't know what it is, or how to tell php to allow my programs to run. Any ideas?
