Answer 1

Have you considered using a PHP Daemon script using supervisorD. I use it in multiple tasks that are required to be running all the time.

The catch is making sure that each time you are running your script you check for memory resources. If its too high, stop the process and then let it restart itself up again.

I have successfully used this process to be always checking database records for tasks to process.

It might be overkill but worth considering.
