• SystemProcess - Execute system commands with ease

  by Jakob Westhoff on Wed, 04 Feb 2009 23:44:26 +0100

  A current project of mine demanded me to invoke a lot of different programms on the commandline. Some calls were simple executions of a command followed by one or two arguments. Others were more complex with the need to define special environment variables or custom file descriptors. Some of them even needed me to asyncronously run the programs to be able to read their output during execution or run multiple commands at once. Because nobody, includind me, really likes the proc_* family of functions like proc_open in php, I decided to write a simple and yet powerful object oriented wrapper around all this functionality. The wrapper is fully unit tested and licensed under LGPLv3 for you to use in your projects. For more informations and documentation please refer the the blog entry. Read more…
