php - How to execute a function every n seconds? -


i'm writing monitor in php that's monitoring uptime of host. every n seconds ask host it's status. make cronjob executes every minute, this:

while(1) {   check_status();   sleep(60); } 

what's efficient way this?

the better method use cron.

cron launch php every minute. if php crash, relaunched. if launch manually php, , crashes, you'll have manually relaunch it. more this, cron, you'll not have care what's happening on machine boot time.

final note : php not best tool make sort of things ;)

cheers,

k.
