How can one efficiently associate a server's PID with its corresponding start script in PHP?

To efficiently associate a server's PID with its corresponding start script in PHP, you can use a combination of system commands and file manipulation. By executing a system command to start the server and capturing its PID, you can then write this PID to a file along with the corresponding start script name. This way, you can easily retrieve the PID based on the start script name when needed. 

```php
// Execute the start script command and capture the PID
$pid = exec('start_script_command > /dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!');

// Write the PID and start script name to a file
file_put_contents('pid_mapping.txt', "start_script_name:$pid\n", FILE_APPEND);
```

In this code snippet, replace 'start_script_command' with the actual command to start the server and 'start_script_name' with the name of the start script. This will create a mapping between the server's PID and its corresponding start script in the 'pid_mapping.txt' file.
