I am using CURL to check pages outside my site on the internet for some
text, then I email someone on my database who supposedly looks after the
site. The script creates a process that does not terminate. It is
running
on a scheduled cronjob so eventually my site has over the maximum of 20
processes running and it goes offline.
It may be that some of the pages I check are hard to get a response
from, as
CURL tries to return the target URL. I have removed any emailing
that it
does and still get the problem. Is there any way to check that a
process is
not terminating after a reasonable time?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php
Get the php script to terminate after a certain amount of time.
You could also use this curl variable: CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT
in case it's a connection issue... see http://www.php.net/curl
I'd probably also try setting CURLOPT_VERBOSE to see if that reveals
the actual problem rather than guessing.

Thanks, Chris. This is the output:

That's a bad link there (in case you didn't notice it).
...and there it stops every time. Is this a script time out, as it
stops while looking at the site it is finding OK?
Set the set_time_limit to 0 (unlimited). Sounds like the script is just
timing out.
