exec("ps auxwww|grep sample.php|grep -v grep", $output);

This would only work, though, if PHP is running in CGI mode. If it's running as a SAPI type thing, you'll never see "sample.php" in the process list, just 'httpd'.

I love simple and elegant solutions to complex problems. If you ask my skills I'd say: Building and maintaining cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and logging solutions. Configuring, load-testing and optimizing many services like databases, messaging brokers, etc. Helping decouple and migrate legacy monoliths to micro-services architecture. I know a thing or two about: High-availability Containers & Isolation Monitoring & Alerting Clustering & Replication Multi-tenancy & Security Migrating monoliths to Cloud Load-balancing solutions Storage solutions Software-defined networks Distributed systems Performance optimization Load-testing Horizontal scaling solutions Building automation tools Building tools for developers On-call & Troubleshooting Backups & Disaster recovery Post-mortem reporting Writing docs & guides

I need to know and kill if there is any processes running a specified PHP script. Is that possible to get list of processes running sample.php using exec() and a php script.

parent process id, process ID, cpu usage, memory usage, etc... look at man ps for details.

Unfortunately, I'm getting Error, do this: mount -t proc proc /proc.
