Run PHP script in background

temp.md

• Create a daemon configuration script under /etc/init ( NOT /etc/init.d ):-

nano /etc/init/mybot.conf

code sample:

description "MyBot Daemon"
author "alhazmy13"
start on startup
stop on shutdown
respawn

exec /usr/share/myScript.php

• alter your script file myScript.php and add below code at the top of the file:

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
#bash script
#while true; do ./myScript.php; done
$seconds = 5; $micro = $seconds * 1000000;

• at end of the file add: usleep($micro);
• create symbolic link to /usr/share/ ln -s /var/www/html/myScript.php /usr/share
• after finish all those steps... now you can use " stop mybot | start mybot | status mybot " in terminal.

It would b helpful to automate things like DB or files backup consistently
