[FIXED] How to run a background process in symfony

Issue

I have a symfony commad that needes few minutes to be completed. And i want to run it by a http request. The problem is that the server kills the command process just after sending response, he has a timeout.

i tried to use symfony process asynchronously But still not working ( i get always the timeout problem).

I dont want use the kernel.terminate event, since it is not a best practice. Here is the code in my controller :

            $commandProcess=new Process('php  bin/console app:doSomeThing');
            $commandProcess->setWorkingDirectory('./../');
            $commandProcess->start();
            $commandProcess->setTimeout(50000000);

Any response will be much appreciated.

Solution

I had to desibale the process output and add '&' after the command Here the answer:

     new Process('php  bin/console app:dosomthing &');

    $commandProcess=new Process('php  bin/console app:dosomthing &');
    $commandProcess->setWorkingDirectory('./../');
    $commandProcess->disableOutput();
    $commandProcess->setTimeout(1800);
    $commandProcess->start();
