Help will be appreciated

Tried pskill?

To be honest, if you're forced into doing anything with exec() then there's probably a better language than php out there for what you need to do. If you can give us more information then we may be able to offer you better advice.

Well i need to have a webpage where you can execute programs through the webpage and kill them like server control

[dagon]

you can use exec et al. to call any program\command that your php has access to

Remember that if this is a web application, it will (normally) be executed as the Apache user, and as such can only kill processes it owns.

If you're looking to spawn processes from within PHP, take a look at [man]proc_open/man and its related functions, including [man]proc_terminate/man.
