i have a php script that needs to execute an external php script (call this
script 2) when the user clicks a link, however I don't want the user to have
to wait until script 2 finishes executing before he sees the output of
script one... i know I can use the exec() command to do this, and use the &
to run the command in the background....

but say i want to run 100 instances of script 2 when the user clicks the
link (with different arguments)... i dont want to have all 100 processes
running at the same time... what I would like to do is run 10 or so at once,
and once those 10 are completed, run another 10...

how would i accomplish this?
