That's what i mean...
Well, in that case, what you could do is have a cron job, or if on windows some form of scheduled
task, that looks for a file that indicates that it should be running.
Then from apache, you could setup a page that has your enable button. When submitted, it creates a
file that indicates to the above scheduled task that it needs to run.
Then, when that scheduled task starts, it looks at the file and sees that it needs to be running,
then it stays running. It checks to see if it has a pid file already created. if it cannot find a
pid file, it creates a pid file to indicate that it is running. It checks every once in a while to
see if the file that tells it that it needs to be running it still there, once that file goes away,
it kills the pid file and kills itself too.
Then the scheduled jobs keeps checking...
You might find that you need to do a little refinement to this process. But, this is where I would
start.
