One option may be to use the &quot;cron&quot; utility to schedule the script to run periodically. &nbsp;Based on how long the script takes to run, you can set any interval you like, say every 5 minutes, or every hour.<br />
<br />
If the script itself has a built-in execution loop, i.e. if it never exits when left by itself, then you can write a shell script that will manage the script as a service, making sure it starts when the server boots, and to restart it if it dies.<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you'd like more information on either of these options.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Hi<br />
<br />
I have a PHP script which usualy I start from command line by writing: php picker.php.<br />
And that works.<br />
However, I'd like to create a daemon in order to have this script working all the time. How I can do this??

Creating a daemon on Unix server to keep running PHP script.

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
