Excute cmd with php and kill the proccess

Question

I run a simple php code on windows machine: exec('b.exe b.txt c.txt').

b.txt is the input and c.txt is the output.

sometimes the output txt file(c.txt) is very big and i need to prevent it by killing the process. I think i must check the size of output and if is bigger than 10 MB i must kill the exec. Any idea about how i could kill the exec;

Why don't you check the filesize of `c.txt` and prevent execution if the file is too big? — Blue, Oct 21 '18 at 14:05
the exec create the c.txt file but i need when that file is being bigger than 10 Mb to stop the execution — raul paulsen, Oct 21 '18 at 14:14

Use this to execute the command asynchronously. Use a while loop with a moderate sleep timer, and continually check the size of the c.txt file, and if the process is still alive. Use this to kill the process if it's too big.
