Just an addition to the previous note re: exec('renice...'). The exit_func() will not set the priority back to normal (0) (at least on linux), unless the user that the webserver is running as is a super user (bad idea). You can decrease the priority of the running task, but not increase it again. See man page for renice. To prevent subsequent requests running at the lower priority I called apache_child_terminate() on shutdown.

If you don't have PHP5 and needs to nice your process this works good. <?php function proc_nice($priority) { exec("renice +$priority ".getmypid()); } //You also need a shutdown function if you don't want to leave your http deamons with a modified priority function exit_func(){ // Restore priority proc_nice(0); } register_shutdown_function('exit_func'); ?>
