linux - How to get list of running php scripts using PHP exec()?

Question

I need to know and kill if there is any processes running a specified PHP script. Is that possible to get list of processes running sample.php using exec() and a php script.

Answer 1

exec("ps auxwww|grep sample.php|grep -v grep", $output);

This would only work, though, if PHP is running in CGI mode. If it's running as a SAPI type thing, you'll never see "sample.php" in the process list, just 'httpd'.
