PHP Process ID and unique

问题:

I want to run a php script on background and store its PID on database. So that I can check if the particular script running or not (later).

We can use getmypid to get current PID.

But as per the PHP manual

Process IDs are not unique, thus they are a weak entropy source. We recommend against relying on pids in security-dependent contexts.

...and I cannot rely on PID.

My second idea is to store the process created time to the database.

How can I get the current script created time? And later how can I compare with tasklist to check whether the particular script is running or not?

I am running on a shared host, windows/linux environment.

It all depends on your level of access to target machine. You can use PHP CLI, store PIDs (they are unique to particular point in time, so you won't have 2 processes with same PIDs running) and grep them in the output of ps -ax to check if they are running. If not - delete them from database, so that you won't have problem with the same PID occuring.

From php.net/getmypid

with little modification to disable non cli access.

script can be executed using /usr/bin/php script.php.

Additionally use nohup /usr/bin/php script.php > nohup.out & to launch a nohup process in background.

#!/usr/bin/php  <?php   if ( PHP_SAPI !== 'cli' ) {     die( "Cmd line access only!\n" ); }  define( 'LOCK_FILE', "/var/run/".basename( $argv[0], ".php" ).".lock" );  // can also use /tmp if( isLocked() ) die( "Already running.\n" );   # The rest of your script goes here....  echo "Hello world!\n";  sleep(30);   unlink( LOCK_FILE );  exit(0);   function isLocked()  {      # If lock file exists, check if stale.  If exists and is not stale, return TRUE      # Else, create lock file and return FALSE.       if( file_exists( LOCK_FILE ) )      {          # check if it's stale          $lockingPID = trim( file_get_contents( LOCK_FILE ) );          # Get all active PIDs.          $pids = explode( "\n", trim( `ps -e | awk '{print $1}'` ) );           # If PID is still active, return true          if( in_array( $lockingPID, $pids ) )  return true;           # Lock-file is stale, so kill it.  Then move on to re-creating it.          echo "Removing stale lock file.\n";          unlink( LOCK_FILE );      }       file_put_contents( LOCK_FILE, getmypid() . "\n" );      return false;   }  ?>
