Why can't you use the PID as the pattern to look for? If there's a reason then please explain it as that will help us assist you. If there's no reason then I don't understand why you're trying to over-complicate it. If you're just wanting to monitor it from the process that forked it then you don't need to store the PID anywhere other than a variable, and you don't need to wait for it. If you absolutely must do this then the only way is via an extension such as proctitle: http://php.net/setproctitle -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ > On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 4:48 PM, Matijn Woudt <tijnema@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> pcntl_fork will return the pid of the fork, what is wrong with using that >> pid to identify the process? >> >> - Matijn >> >> >> On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 3:38 PM, Sorin Badea <sorin.badea91@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: >> >>> Hi guys, >>> I'm trying to find a solution to identify a php process that is spawned >>> with pnctl_fork.
