Question

PHP

there is a php script that sends emails to everyone in a loop, but if I want to stop it at one moment, then I just restart the server. are there any workarounds?

Answer 1

Yes, in the script itself, in the loop, look for any external factor by which to exit - the presence of a file / entry in the database / other things, and according to this condition, do exit / die.

Answer 2

you can find out its PID and execute kill -9 PID
or killall -9 php

Answer 3

make a button redirect to the same page

<button onclick="location.reload()">остановить</button>

Answer 4

in a database, in some table, perhaps you have one - where various parameters are stored, create a parameter, for example, enable_sendmail and a value of 0 or 1. In your script that sends letters, make a request to the database and check this parameter before each sending a letter, then any convenient way to stop the process
