I was running a php script in background, and what I tried:
shell_exec('nohup php C:\wamp\www\Management_software\application\views\testcron.php > /dev/null & echo $!');
This is working fine when I opened up the command prompt(cmd) and tried:
php C:\wamp\www\Management_software\application\views\testcron.php
But this is not working from the php page, how to solve this or any other techniques or what are the modifications I have to make ?
This might help you debug the problem. exec can take 3 arguments and those help in identifying what's going on.
Try with
exec('nohup php C:\wamp\www\Management_software\application\views\testcron.php > /dev/null & echo $!', $op, $er);
echo $er;`
and see what gets printed on the page. If the value of $er is greater than 0, then something is wrong.
