php - ffmpeg backgrounding? -

does know how background ffmpeg if executed php script? i've bee trying figure out while, absolutely nothing if nohupped/&/>dev/null/etc... can't seem run while not in focus

when process video uploads php+ffmpeg, split tasks. script taking video upload queues job in beanstalkd , continues. second script runs indefinitely in background listens beanstalkd new videos process.

this avoids issue of processing many videos @ once, encounter if forked ffmpeg background. if figure out way of forking ffmpeg background, you're better off using queuing system reason alone.
