Or you (if you're not interested in the process after it starts) can ask the
OS to start up a new process, even if it's only web accessible:
for ($x=0; $x<count($devices); $x++) {
$url="http://localhost/snmp_grab.php?dev=" . $device[$x];
$cmd="curl '$url'"; // or {"php -q /docroot/snmp_grab " . $device[$x]}
// or lynx, or w3m, or ...
`echo "$cmd" | at now`;
}
