Kill process

[parasjain]

hi
i am running a dos process using backticks in php.But the process may take a long time to execute.in that case how to kill the process and continue further if it takes more than some threshold time.

sumone told me that it needs another process to kill it…but how?

take a look at http://php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php
