I see Your point but it's override trouble not solve.
I need solution for my problem, many people around the world use fcgi for conversion and i don't see why it shouldn't work longer than few minutes...
I need have running php because i want grab output
Code:
$output = shell_exec('something');
And after finish i want import that output into database...
I know i can rewrite whole application, and execute commands like that
Quote:$output= shell_exec('sometghing > output.txt');
and ever if php / fcgi will be killed i can re-spawn it and read output.txt to get status...
I know, i can workaround this... but why... it should work... and i want it in normal way...
