If you try to execute a command under Windows the PHP script normally waits until the process has
been terminated. Executing long-term processes pauses a PHP script even if you don't want to
wait for the end of the process.
It wasn't easy to find this beautiful example how to start a process under Windows without
waiting for its termination:
<?php
$commandString = 'start /b c:\\programToRun.exe -attachment
"c:\\temp\file1.txt"';
pclose(popen($commandString, 'r'));
?>
