Given the following php code…
<?php
exec('myscript.php');
exec('finish.php');
?>
Is there a way to tell when myscript.php has stopped running?
I’d like to prevent finish.php from running until myscript.php is completed.
The exec() calls will block until the external job has completed. Unless you force one of the myscript call to run in the background, you’ll never have finish.php running while myscript.php is.
