#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

/**
  * Handles SIG handlers
  */
$sigterm=false;
$sighup=false;

/**
  * SIG handler
  */
function sig_handler($signo)
{
	global $sigterm, $sigup;

	if($signo == SIGTERM)
		$sigterm = true;
  	else if($signo == SIGHUP)
		$sighup = true;
}

// Set up the forking
global $sigterm, $sighup;

ini_set("max_execution_time", "0");
ini_set("max_input_time", "0");
set_time_limit(0);

pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "sig_handler");
pcntl_signal(SIGHUP, "sig_handler");

// fork this process into a background child process
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if($pid == -1)
	die("There is no fork()!");

if($pid)
{
	echo($pid);
	return 0;
}

while(!$sigterm)
{
	// CHANGE TO WHATEVER SCRIPT YOU WANT TO RUN
	exec('php /path/to/your/script');

	// CHANGE TO WHATEVER TIME
	sleep(2);
}

return 0;

?>

This will launch itself in the background and execute a script every x  
seconds.

HTH,

Jon.
