Sorry, you've got to either escape the embedded single quotes: php -r 'exec("bash -c '\''exec nohup perl /home/test/college.pl >/dev/null 2>&1 &'\''");' or just use double quotes and escape the embedded double quotes: php -r "exec(\"bash -c 'exec nohup perl /home/test/college.pl >/dev/null 2>&1 &'\");" -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
