运行PHP脚本

Question

I need keep running the PHP script but I have a problem, currently I use putty to login to the server then execute PHP code. When I close putty session the script stops the execution.

Steps:

1. login to server with putty
2. running PHP script eg) PHP filename

but when I close the putty session the program will obvious close. I need to keep running the program on server regardless of closing putty and anyone logging into server can stop it and run it again as a process. How to run a php script independent of putty session, which can be controlled by anyone logging to server?

I'm not sure your question is really in the scope of programming, it is more a unix/linux specific question of "How to run a program from shell that doesn't close when I close the terminal". PHP happens to be that program.

You can do php -f scriptname.php > /dev/null 2>/dev/null & disown.

STDOUT and STDERR will be redirected to /dev/null (or you can change those to real files) and the ambersand will fork the process. Disown will remove the running PID from the terminal session.
