How to run multiple commands with Symfony\Component\Process\Process

We use a https://www.cloudfoundry.org/ hosting for our app. To connect to the server we have to use cf ssh APP-NAME instead of the normal ssh command.

Now I want to write a simple Task runner like https://deployer.org/ to run some artisan commands on the server. For that I tired Symfony\Component\Process\Process, which works for connecting to the server, but I can't keep the connection open to run some other commands.

Does anyone know how to keep the connection open and run some commands?

Here is my current code:

use Symfony\Component\Process\Process;

$process = new Process("cf ssh APP-NAME");
$process->setPTY(true);

// Add some other commands like "php artisan migrate" 

$process->run();

echo $process->getOutput();
Solution

  • Executing commands on a remote server is a totally different feature that starting subprocesses. So it does not belong to the Process component but to another library. Try to use this one phpseclib/phpseclib here you can find nice manual phpseclib/phpseclib manual.

    Or this one ssh-client/ssh-client.

    Also, take a look at this laravel package laravelcollective/remote
