title: php exec command (or similar) to not wait for result
body: <p>I have a command I want to run, but I do not want PHP to sit and wait for the result.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  echo "Starting Script";
  exec('run_baby_run');
  echo "Thanks, Script is running in background";
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to have PHP not wait for the result.. i.e. just kick it off and move along to the next command.</p>
  
  <p>I cant find anything, and not sure its even possible.  The best I could find was someone making a CRON job to start in a minute.</p>
