Question

Question,

How can I spurn another process within a daemon?

I want to use the pear system daemon library to spurn a daemon and then spurn off processes within that daemon.

So daemon runs
and then a new process is spurn off and does calculation separately
then other processes are spurn off that runs separate from the daemon.
meanwhile, daemon keeps executing code and spurns off more processes

how can I accomplish this?

System_Daemon only handles startup/shutdown handling, general signal handling and logging.

If you want to spawn new processes from your PHP code, you need to use PHP’s pcntl functions.
