在Shell和PHP之间通信？

Question

im going to write a php script that should do the following:

• create user
• check for, download and install packages
• download files with wget
• move files
• set permissions
• start applications with screen
• stop screen session

i don't want to use default www-data user for that - how can i exec the cmd with another user?

Whats the best way to do that with PHP on Debian/Ubuntu ?

Maybe run a .sh file (+ params) with shell_exec() ?

Answer 1

Depending upon your need you can use .sh as well exec too

If you have lots of commands under single action then you should prefer shell script

For one liners shell_exec works efficiently.
