I need to run a lengthy Laravel process in the background to use the Streaming Stream API. Effectively the PHP-Artisan CLI command that I need to run is -
nohup php artisan startStreaming > /dev/null 2>&1 &
If I run this myself on the command line, it works fine.
The idea is that I can click on the button on the website that launches the stream by running the long-running artisan command that starts streaming (you need to start in the background because the connection to the Twitter stream never ends). Going through the command line works fine.
Calling a command programmatically, however, does not work. I tried to call it silently via callSilent () from another command, and also tried to use Symfony \ Component \ Process \ Process to run the artisan command or run a shell script that runs the command above, but I can’t figure it out.
Update
If I queue with a command that opens a connection to a thread, this leads to a process timeout for the queue worker
I really need a way to execute the above command from the PHP / script class, but where is the PHP script not waiting for the completion / exit of this command.
Help appreciate
