Killing a program in shell script
I followed the directions here
Free Twitter Source Code ? Twitter Database Server: Install
and created a php script that enters twitter keyword searches into a MySQL DB.
When you execute the files outlined in the above link, a script starts indefinitely.
I've noticed that the scripts will inevitably fail for one reason or another. So, I want to manually kill the script after x amount of hours while scheduling it to execute every x hours in crontab. That way it will run as long crontab runs.
What's the best way to do this?
is there a way to do this without modifying those php files? (there are two of them that have to run concurrently)
Thinking aloud, would it be possible to run the php file from a shell script, and then execute some sort of kill command in that same shell script after x amount of hours?
