README

System processes and information at your fingertips

Systemic offers an easy to use frontend to launching and controlling processes and accessing system information.

Installation

This package requires PHP 8.4 or higher.

Install via composer:

composer require decodelabs/systemic

Usage

Process launching

Launch new processes:

use DecodeLabs\Monarch;
use DecodeLabs\Systemic;

$systemic = Monarch::getService(Systemic::class);

$dir = 'path/to/working-directory';

// Launch and capture output of a process
echo $systemic->capture(['ls', '-al'], $dir)->getOutput();

// Launch and capture output of a process with raw string command (not escaped)
echo $systemic->capture('ls -al', $dir)->getOutput();

// Launch and capture output of a script
echo $systemic->capture(['myPhpScript.php'], $dir)->getOutput();

// Launch a background task
$process = $systemic->launch(['make', 'install']);

// Launch a background script
$process = $systemic->launchScript(['myPhpScript.php'], $dir);

// Run a piped pseudo terminal process
$success = $systemic->run(['interactive-app', '--arg1'], $dir);

// Run a piped pseudo terminal script
$success = $systemic->runScript(['myPhpScript.php', '--arg1'], $dir);

// Custom escaped command
$success = $systemic->command(['escaped', 'arguments'])
    ->setWorkingDirectory($dir)
    ->addSignal('SIGSTOP') // Pass SIGSTOP through when caught
    ->setUser('someuser') // Attempt to use sudo to run as user
    ->run();

// Custom raw command with env arguments
$result = $systemic->command('echo ${:VARIABLE} | unescaped-command', [
        'VARIABLE' => 'Hello world'
    ])
    ->setWorkingDirectory($dir)
    ->capture();

OS info

Get information about the current OS:

// OS info
echo $systemic->os->name; // Linux | Windows | Darwin
echo $systemic->os->platformType; // Unix | Windows
echo $systemic->os->distribution; // eg Ubuntu or High Sierra, etc
echo $systemic->os->version; // System version info
echo $systemic->os->release; // System version number
echo $systemic->os->hostName; // System hostname

// Find binaries on the system
echo $systemic->os->which('php'); // eg /usr/local/bin/php

Windows

Please note, OS and Process support on Windows is currently extremely sketchy - this will be fleshed out soon!
