Long Running scripts

[eluser]Haydenzone[/eluser]
Carmageddon, thanks for your help, but I feel like there should be a more efficient way to do this... Using IPC would, I believe, require me to serialize all my data then "pass" it to my second process, then unserialize. I already have all my data loaded into memory with the current script.

So, would it be correct in saying, that there are no means in the CI framework to "sever" the connection which the client, and continue processing in the background?

Thanks
