Method

Starts $command in the background and returns the object that controls it.

Description#

public static Process::run(
    string $command,
    array $arguments = [],
    ?string $cwd = null,
    ?array $env = null
): ProcessInterface

Nothing goes through a shell: $command is searched for in PATH (or taken as a path when it contains a slash) and the arguments are passed as they are. Works the same on POSIX and Windows; the signals are the difference, see ProcessRunner::sendSignal.

Parameters#

$command string

The executable

$arguments array = []

The arguments, one element each

$cwd ?string = null

The working directory of the child; null: the current one

$env ?array = null

The environment of the child, replacing the current one; null: inherit it

Return values#

The running process ProcessInterface
