Starting and stopping scripts with a loop?

Question

linux

Good afternoon.
I have a script with an infinite loop. I can't just run it (I run it on hosting via ssh) because as soon as I close the console, the script exits. I solved this problem using cron, everything works fine.
Now I encountered such a problem - in order to leave this script, I will have to kill the php process, and not 1 script with a cycle is running there, I have to raise all the scripts again through cron, which is very inconvenient and I have to run 10 files from 1 line again. Maybe there are some ideas?

1. In order for the script to continue executing after disconnecting from the console, it must be run in the background via nohup. For example like this:nohup php ./myscript.php &
   
2. Using the PHP function getmypid, get the process id, save it to a pid file, and kill only that process.
