A simple question (or so I thought).

Does php allow an app to create/start a process/application that can
continue to run on its own, after the initiating program/app terminates?

It appears that the spawning/forking functions might work, but the child
apps would be in a zombie status, and couldn't be killed by an external
program.

Basically, I'd like to create a bunch of test apps/processes, and then to
be
able to kill them by a separate process if the apps take too long to run..

So.. thoughts/comments would be appreciated!

thanks
