Run Cron Job in Background on Linux/Apache

Question

I have a cron job I need to run every 7 days to aggregate up a bunch of data using a php script. The process is pretty CPU intensive and can take a decent amount of time. Despite setting it to run at 4 am (when we get the least amount of traffic) users are starting to notice some down time when the script runs. Is there a way to run this in the background only when the CPU is not being used or has an open thread?

Thanks!

在cron作业行中，您可以使用“ nice”，“ chrt”或“ loadwatch”程序包装php命令行。
