I would write a bash script and just execute that from within PHP. If
you're using so many commands that performance is becoming an issue,
I'd recommend that you try that. Bash scripting is terribly easy to
learn if you don't already know how. Even if you did find an
alternative in PHP, I don't think it would be as efficient as
executing a single script.
