The sleep(3) *nix manpage reads: DESCRIPTION sleep() makes the current process sleep until [seconds] seconds have elapsed or a signal arrives which is not ignored. So, ANY incoming signal that has not been set with pcntl_signal() to SIG_IGN causes sleep() to return. If you don't want this, maybe <?php time_sleep_until(microtime(true) + $secs ); ?> will work, depending on CPU load. RETURN VALUE Zero if the requested time has elapsed, or the number of seconds left to sleep. The return value is an integer, and (at least in 5.1.2) it is the round()ed remaining time. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 81.52.239.1 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/62456 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62456/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62456/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62456/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62456/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62456/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62456/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62456 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/62456 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
