I would like to thank those who responded - I will play around with the
problem later in the week.

It carries on after a reboot?????  Geez!!!  I don't think that's PHP.  How
is the script restarting on boot up? Can you send the output of

ps axf

and maybe of

top

Do these immediately after a reboot so the machine is freshly started.

How do you know that there's a process running away?  Is the CPU working
hard, memory full?

If it is PHP can you send over the script for us to have a look at?

Cheers

Ronan
