Stopping an undefinitely looping PHP script.

[Line Yoble]

Hello,

Is there a way to stop an undefinitely looping PHP script (other than restarting apache) ?

Thanks.

Regards.

Kill the process.

Would be easy if the name of the script is visible in the process list (ps -eF), but it is not.
Any other idea ?

Look at the amount of time the process has been running.

Also, you should have a PHP execution time limit set in the configuration. That'll kill the script once it's run for a certain amount of time.
