If I understand correctly, you want to run some command from Linux or your OS by PHP. You can do this in three ways (PHP functions), each with its particularity:

exec

passthru

shell_exec

Of course, there are other functions for this that are more specific and these are not unique to such functionality. I just indicated the ones that I think are more adept to your need.
