Loop in shell.

1. In php loop add loop counter and exit after hour for restarting process.
2. memory usage controll
3. reconect to db each 100 seconds

Shell script do simple loop and each for iteration create new logfile

PHP and shell script:

    ini_set('memory_limit', '300M');
    $loopCnt = 0;
    while(true) {
        /**
         * Maximal time limit for loop execution
         */
        set_time_limit(10);

        $loopCnt ++;
        /**
         * each hour finishing
         */
        if($loopCnt > 60 * 60){
            exit;
        }
        usleep(self::SLEEP_MICROSECONDS);
        if ($loopCnt % 60 === 0) { //log every 60 seconds memory usage
            $this->out('memory usage: '.memory_get_usage());
            //reconnect DB to avoid timeouts and server gone away errors
            Yii::$app->db->close();
            Yii::$app->db->open();
        }
        if (memory_get_usage() > self::MEMORY_LIMIT) {
            $this->out('memory limit reached: '.self::MEMORY_LIMIT . ' actual:  ' . memory_get_usage() . ' exit');
            exit;
        }
        
        /**
        *  do work
        */

    }

}

// bat file

 set loopcount=1000000

 :loop

     echo Loop %DATE% %TIME% %loopcount%

     set t=%TIME: =0%

     php cwbouncer.php > C:\logs\cwbouncer_%DATE:~2,2%%DATE:~5,2%%DATE:~8,2%_%t:~0,2%%t:~3,2%%t:~6,2%.log

    set /a loopcount=loopcount-1

    if %loopcount%==0 goto exitloop

    goto loop

:exitloop
