PHP background process

Question

I wrote php irc bot, but I need it to work in the background. With that, there would be no shots or so. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks and respect.

Answer 1

Take a look at the following website. There is a fairly detailed explanation of how to write PHP daemons.

Answer 2

Run it in screen , then separate. You can then exit the terminal and reconnect to the screen session.

Answer 3

I use something similar:

nohup php /path/to/script.php > /dev/null 2> /dev/null&
