Hello,

I'm executing this command in php:

exec('php /path/to/script.php one_argument_passed &");

But it's not executing it in the background. Is there a setting or something in php I need to do to make this work?

Maybe you have a permissions problem.

This answer is wrong; the only difference between `exec()` and `shell_exec()` is the way the output of the program is returned. – Ilmari Karonen Sep 18 '12 at 12:56
