Cannot run commands?

[pattiereaves]

When I run php fetch.php -v, I get this message:

To start OpenFuego, run these commands:

nohup /usr/bin/php /Library/WebServer/Documents/OpenFuego/collect.php > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & echo $!
nohup /usr/bin/php /Library/WebServer/Documents/OpenFuego/consume.php > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & echo $!

[2]+ Exit 255 nohup /usr/bin/php /Library/WebServer/Documents/OpenFuego/consume.php > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Even after running those commands. Running those commands gives me responses like

[1] 5930
5930

and

[2] 5941
5941
[1] Exit 255 nohup /usr/bin/php /Library/WebServer/Documents/OpenFuego/collect.php > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Can you help point me in the right direction?

Those numbers, 5930 and 5941, are the process IDs Fuego is using and are supposed to be displayed, for you reference.

After starting it up, can you do a pidof php and see if those same process IDs are displayed?

Also, by chance are you in a shared hosting environment?

I'm trying to set this up on my localhost (a mostly out of the box php 5.3 set up on Snow Leopard).

I don't appear to have pidof but when I look through the list of ps -ax I don't see those numbers in there.

I haven't tested this in a non-Linux environment. If you know how to compile PHP, make sure to compile it with process control. That will allow all of this to happen in the background just by running fetch.php.

If you're launching the processes and then seeing they're not actually running, try running fetch.php -v (verbose mode) to get verbose error output. Let me know if you see any errors or warnings.
