Hello

I am attaching a project

Sorry
It seems to me because of my English you did not understand me correctly:

The shell command should run the command on the server. (Like the exec command within PHP).

So my question is if the command is supposed to take a long time on the server then I can not use it?
That bad!

That's why in the previous email she wrote to me:
  do not be synchronous, be asynchronous using the event loop!

It does not work

I also tried to add the character "&" at the end of the command and also did not work.

Many thanks
