[stunnel-users] launch stunnel server daemon from php?

Can you show code that works for other excutables, but not stunnel,
plus your configuration file?

Stunnel will stop when it has no more input to send to the remote
end.  It could be that stunnel is hanging because its input isn't
closed, so it assumes it's not 'done' yet.
