Is there any way to get realtime output from shell script to website?

Question

I made a shell script to install web project on server when customer press a button on website.

I'm running command through the larval jobs

exec("/home/foldername/installation.sh

this shell script contains;

creating folder
creating database and import sql file
creating virtual host for domain.(with sudo)
restarting the web server. (with sudo)

Everything works. I want to show the realtime output of this shell script to the customer. How can I achieve that?

I tried symphony process. but it is not allow me to run sudo httpd restart and creating files in the root folder.

You could use Symfony\Component\Process\Process class to wrap your script and be able to set a callback to handle the real-time output. Combined to websocket broadcasting, you're able to show it on your website.

Here is the official documentation: https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/process.html#getting-real-time-process-output

How do you know he is using symfony? Not mentioned in his question. This should be a comment IMHO. – Nic3500 Apr 05 '20 at 01:20
I tried Symfony. sudo command not work – Shankar S Bavan Apr 05 '20 at 03:39
@Nic3500 he's using Laravel, so he automatically got Symfony classes in his `vendor` because Laravel is built upon Symfony – Shizzen83 Apr 05 '20 at 07:52
@Shizzen83 can I restart web server with Symfony process? – Shankar S Bavan Apr 05 '20 at 15:10

Depending on where you run this from, yes you could. – Shizzen83 Apr 05 '20 at 16:23
