每5分钟退出一次的脚本然后在它停止的地方更新

Question

I've got a UNIX question... I have a PHP script that I run in the terminal that parses a bunch of images and puts them in the database. This script has already been written

Due to restrictions on my hosting (Bluehost) I cannot run a process for more than 5ish minutes. I'm wondering how to set it up so that I will quit out of the script every 5 minutes then maybe sleep for a bit, then reopen itself where it left off.

I was planning on using a cronjob to rerun the command but how do I resume where I left off?

Thanks, Matt Mueller

Change your hosting provider....

Write a script to dump all the image file names into a text file. Set script to read the text file and remove the file name from the text file every time you finish processing that image. Any time the process is killed it should be safe to re-start.
