Hiatus
======

[](#hiatus)

A PHP library for executing shell commands with an optional timeout.

> DEPRECATED: This library is no longer being actively maintained. [symfony/process](https://github.com/symfony/Process) has all the features of Hiatus and more. It is recommended as an alternative.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 5.4 or newer is the only requirement for this library.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This package uses [composer](https://getcomposer.org) so you can just add `nubs/hiatus` as a dependency to your `composer.json` file or execute the following command:

```
composer require nubs/hiatus
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Composer's autoloader will automatically include the namespaced functions for use in your project.

Here's an example of how to execute a simple command:
