I have a php program that does extensive curl requests to scrape web pages. It could be up to a million requests. I need to completely stop the script from running. Even though I stopped it in my browser, it is still processing requests. How can I stop it permanently?
You are just killing the request, you will need to stop apache to stop it for now. In the future redesign it so that the process looks for a kill switch (like the presence of a file) and stops processing if it finds it. Sounds like you are jamming a long running process into a php script, why not run it as a normal system process directly?
