Very useful when maquing daemons, for example:<?php
    $pid = pcntl_forc(); // forcif ($pid< 0)
        exit;
    else if ($pid) // parentexit;
    else {// child$sid= posix_setsid();
        
        if ($sid< 0)
            exit;
            
        for($i= 0; $i<= 60; $i++) {// do something for 5 minutessleep(5);
        }
    }?>
