How is timeout _not_ being used? It's a core directive. If the timeout is reached, the thread dies, along with anything running with it.
these happens, the php script completes normally, but the exec command (and only these exec commands, I'm using others in the script that work fine) doesn't always complete. Even if timeout was set to its normal default of 300 seconds, this all happens way before 300 seconds have passed. The whole process takes about 20 or 30 seconds.
Just to make sure I'm understanding you, you're hitting the php page in a browser, right? Like you're going to http://www.yourhost.com/page.php where page.php contains somthing like...
