pcntl needed?

Just curious if it’s really needed, just reinstalled my vps and switched to php 5.4(And as always, I run nginx) and noticed this error on a fresh install.

The following PHP functions (which may be necessary to run Textpattern) are disabled on your server: pcntl_alarm, pcntl_fork, pcntl_waitpid, pcntl_wait, pcntl_wifexited, pcntl_wifstopped, pcntl_wifsignaled, pcntl_wexitstatus, pcntl_wtermsig, pcntl_wstopsig, pcntl_signal, pcntl_signal_dispatch, pcntl_get_last_error, pcntl_strerror, pcntl_sigprocmask, pcntl_sigwaitinfo, pcntl_sigtimedwait, pcntl_exec, pcntl_getpriority, pcntl_setpriority,

I remember reading that it’s bad to have it enabled on production servers(not that I’m hosting tons of large sites or that my site even gets hits) so I was hesitant to enable it. Thought I would ask before I did enable it because if it’s not really needed and it’s not really good to run on a production server then meh. :p

You can keep these disabled.

In a similar vein, I’ve just installed Textpattern for a client build, and this is mentioned as unavailable in diagnostics:

allow_url_fopen

Is that one OK to ignore too?

Re: pcntl needed?

TXP doesn’t use allow_url_fopen, as far as I know. Perhaps only for checking if clean urls are working (in the diagnostics tab). There may be some plugins that need it.
