Note Submitter: cbn at grenet dot org ---- @cmyk777 at gmail dot com : I am not sure to understand your script... If you kill your parent process, it will kill all its children, probably before your time consuming job would be finished (?) Usually you have to tell your master process to pcntl_wait() for all the workers, and then exit(). You can also use pcntl_signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN) to avoid zombies, that is probably what you are looking for (it works under Linux 2.6).
