No, what I meant is: Run this command. It can run for as long as you want it to. That's a long-running process, by definition.
If they wanted something more specific, they should ask for what they really want.

I also meant long-running processes, which it sounds like is still problematic. To be fair, it doesn't sound like PHP was ever designed to be used for long-running processes, to which I guess "Fair enough", but that might make things like a job worker queue more complicated if you want to write the workers in PHP (it sounds like you'll need a dispatcher in a different language because that would be a long-running process).
Have you reported them upstream? That implies a memory safety or garbage collection bug.
