Stopping an infinite loop on a remote server PHP

问题

I have a simple infinite for loop looking like this:

set_time_limit (0);
for (;;)
{
    ... //Doing some stuff including to write to a file
    sleep(300);
}

It's running on my server. (Shared hosting account)

How on earth can I stop it?

回答1:

kill the process. assuming you can get access to the console via ssh and your server runs on linux:

ps -ef | grep php // to get a list of php-processes

kill [process-id] // kill the process by process-id

回答2:

You might want to contact your hosting service and ask them to kill your script. Most likely you don't have execute-access or ssh-access. Maybe you should build a possibility to quit your program next time you create an infinite loop.

I logged in via SSH and tried killing the process but it didn't seem to work - possibly the incorrect process as there were quite a few there.

You can always restart apache as a last resort; that will fix it ;-)

回答4:

You mentioned writing to a file.

But if you were writing to a database you can use your database tool to temporarily rename a field which would trigger an error and stop your script.

The woes of shared servers, rapid dev and typos.
