If you're running PHP with safe mode on you'll have to change safe_mode_exec_dir to include the dirs of the kill binaries, you'll also have to use "su -c" to kill processes not owned as yourself. It also depends on whether exec() is in the list of disabled_functions in php.ini.

Use <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); $output = exec("su -c kill 2000"); echo $output; ?> and see if an error appears.

I change to var_dump($output) ; return string '' (length=0). No warning, error.

Check your safe mode configuration in php.ini. See here for more information .
