Answer 1

This is how I did it simultaneously encode thumbs, and then flv video..I need to generate 2 thumbs from avi file. After the thumbs I need to convert the same avi to flv or whatever. So, here is the code I normally used.

$command_one = "do whatever the script does best";
$command_two = "do whatever the script does second best";
//execute and redirect standard stream ..
@exec($command_one."&& ".$command_two.">/dev/null 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &");

You can also run array of commands with exec, if you want :)

foreach($crapatoids as $crap){

$command_name = $crap;
//exec the crap below
@exec ($command_name." >/dev/null 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &");
}
