If you had one "main" script that did a stream_select on multiple URLs and polled them to get their output as it came about, you'd essentially be using Apache's multi-process model instead... Or you could just figure out what was wrong that was causing your zombies and fix it... :-v Another nifty hack is: //An atomic way to claim these tasks as MINE $process_id = getmypid(); $query = "UPDATE tasks set process_id = $process_id WHERE process_id is NULL LIMIT 10"; You can then do the 10 tasks needed and die off. Alter 10 to suit your needs, and have not as many php processes running in parallel. -- 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
