In fact, just to see if I somehow completely forgot how things worked, I just mocked up the following and verified it worked perfectly: <?php // 1.php php ./2.php >> /dev/null 2>&1 &; echo 'I will now terminate, while the other script continues.'.PHP_EOL; ?> <?php // 2.php while (1) { file_put_contents('./123-whee.txt','I\'m still running!'.PHP_EOL,FILE_APPEND); } ?> dan@blackbox:~$ php 1.php I will now terminate, while the other script continues. dan@blackbox:~$ tail -f ./123-whee.txt I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running! I'm still running!
