I've tried to accomplish with two scripts.

Execept I didn't think ahead of enough and now
I'm having the problem of calling exec( )
and the parent script waiting until it returns.

I can't seem to call exec(script &) <-- & to force to background
but the parent still waits...

Any way to get around this?

..............FROM PARENT.................
    /* Run the child_job to execute this job_id. */
    exec("env -i /usr/bin/php child_job.php -i $jobIdToRun");

    /* IT WAITS HERE UNTIL child_job.php IS DONE RUNNING */

    /* Child needs to report back its PID. */
    msg_receive($MSG_QUEUE, 1, $real_type, 16384, $childPID, 1, 0, $err);
    error_log("childPID($childPID)");
