README

Run shell commands locally or via SSH. Primarily for simplifying running commands on remote machines, either interactively or capturing the output.

Usage

Install via composer. Example usage:

<?php
use TJM\ShellRunner\ShellRunner;

$shell = new ShellRunner();

//--run `ls` locally, capturing output
$output = $shell->run(Array(
	'command'=> 'ls'
));

//--run `ls` remotely, capturing output
$output = $shell->run(Array(
	'command'=> 'ls'
	,'host'=> 'tobymackenzie.com'
));

//--SSH into remote machine interactively.  Will not capture output.  Interaction will require running PHP on command line, not in browser.
$shell->run(Array(
	'host'=> 'tobymackenzie.com'
	,'interactive'=> true
));
