Figure out why the PHP job is hanging in the first place and fix it, is the best answer... In the meantime, have root run a cron job that "kill -9" your PHP job if it has been running longer than X minutes, or even if it has not done an INSERT in Y minutes or... It's up to you to determine the criteria for just killing off the process. Just be sure you don't end up killing something in a bad half-finished state that will corrupt your application data. You may want to have your PHP job log more stuff about what it is doing step by step so you can figure out why/when it hangs. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
