hello,
I have what may seem like a small problem but its not obvious to me.
I have a script that I forked and that part works fine, it forks, tells me
the pid like I wanted, and keeps running. Well, the problem that was not
apparent to me until about 3 days ago when I was wondering why the
script(my php chat server) was crashing at seeminly random times. I
finally figured out that when I logged out of my shell in linux, the
talker would go down as well. Obviously I don't want that but what do I
need to add to the line when i start the script
thanks
matt
ps If it helps, I am running php 4.3.10 on slackware

It would have been nice to see your command line. Add '&' i.e.

/usr/local/bin/foo &
