exec() with timeout

Question

I\'m looking for a way to run a PHP process with a timeout. Currently I\'m simply using exec(), but it does not provide a timeout option.

What I also tried is openin

Answer 1

I am facing the same problem that I have tried all the answers above, but windows server cant work with any of these, maybe it is my stupidity.

My final working solution for windows is executing a batch file,

timeout.bat

::param 1 is timeout seconds, param 2 is executable
echo "running %2 with timeout %1"
start %2
set time=0

:check
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq %2" 2>NUL | find /I /N "%2">NUL
::time limit exceed
if "%time%"=="%1" goto kill
::program is running
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" ( ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 >nul & set /a time=%time%+1 & goto check) else ( goto end)

:kill
echo "terminate"
taskkill /im %2 /f

:end
echo "end"

the php command

exec("timeout.bat {$time} your_program.exe");
