For Win2k/XP systems, and probably NT as well, after beating my head against a wall for a few days
on this, I finally found a foolproof way of backgrounding processes and continuing the script.
For some strange reason I just could not seem to get backgrounding to work with either system or
exec, or with the wsh.run method for that matter. I have used all three in the past with success,
but it just wasn't happening this time.
What I finally wound up doing was using psexec from the pstools package found at http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml
You would use it like:
exec("psexec -d blah.bat");
which will start and immediately background blah.bat and immediately resume running the rest of the
php script.
