### Installation

[](#installation)

The package can be installed easily using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/ "Composer") by executing the following command:

```
composer require adnanhussainturki/unix-screen-php

```

### Prerequisite

[](#prerequisite)

- Create model name `Process` using command `php artisan make:model Process`
- Create a new migration using command `php artisan make:migration create_process_table`
- Use the following code for migration: ```
    Schema::create('processes', function (Blueprint $table) {
    	$table->id();
    	$table->string("slug")->unique();
    	$table->integer("timeout")->default(30);
    	$table->integer("exitcode")->nullable();
    	$table->json("data");
    	$table->boolean("closed")->default(false);
    	$table->boolean("success")->nullable();
    	$table->dateTime("started_at");
    	$table->bigInteger("started_at_unix");
    	$table->text("remark")->nullable();
    	$table->timestamps();
    });

    ```

### Modes of execution

[](#modes-of-execution)

The package two modes of execution of commands or scripts:

- Synchronous Good for running short time-taking commands like `ls` or `uname` etc. Running the command or shell script and wait until the execution is completed. This method is *NOT RECOMMENDED* as it may invoke PHP timeout errors or Webserver timeout errors. Along with these, this method is not also so good for user experience.
- Asynchronous (Recommended) Great for running time-taking command or scripts like `top` or `cp` or `mv` etc.
