I'm using PHP's shell_exec() to call a bash script, and I've identified the line that is is hanging up on:
I'm using WinExe in that line, and the line that hangs up is this (sensitive values removed obviously):
result=`${LOCATION}/bin/winexe -U "user%password" //gateway "g:\\folder\\myscript.bat $1 $2"`
If I call this script from the terminal, it works perfectly fine, but if I call it from PHP, the web server hangs and doesn't come back to normal until I kill the processes using:
fuser -k -n tcp 80
