I have finally had a chance to test your suggestion and I am still getting a browser timeout ?
The 1st program runs to completion even though the broswer times out. So it doesn't execute the second program :-(
I have also tried....
`/usr/local/bin/process_file file1 &`
exec('/usr/local/bin/process_file file1 &')Any ideas??

system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file1'); system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file2');
system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file1 &'); system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file2 &');
Should work in theory. Haven't test it though.
