Hello, everybody.

I want to call any shell command from php script using shell_exec(). The
problem is that the next line of the php script would not be run until a few
minutes after running the shell command.
I found the shell command couldn't be run at background mode. It seemed that
the shell_exec() function waits a return from the command. Because the
command doesn't return, the shell_exec() waits until timeout reached. Using
the '&' at the end of the command doesn't work expected.
So I want to know how can I run any non-background mode shell command from
php script without waiting return.
I'll look forward to any answer.
Thanks in advance.
