note 22775 added to function.exec

For those who've got a problem with running a background process with exec(), it looks that some process doesn't support it at all, some will need to be redirected to /dev/null. If you can't load your program even with ">/dev/null" you are supposed to code a little sh script to run your program in background This is 'file.sh' #/bin/sh command_here & and you : exec("file.sh"); Note: this will not work with the program that require an output on your screen like 'top'.
