Jim, i've already look for pcntl... but the support server guys, tell me
that they can't install php modules that are not pre-compiled... so,
pcntl is not an alternative...

I think you are right... i have to make this script a daemon... but how
can i do that with php??... the problem is that this daemon should be
started in web interface... see the problem...???

thanks
