Is there a way to run a Symfony2 console command *in background* from a
controller?

I checked the Process component but I'm not sure it suites my case...

$ nohup app/console my:command &

Something like this? Could you describe your problem a little bit further?
Maybe you are looking for something different.

Yes, Sebastian, something like tha, but I need to run it from a controller
and I was wondering if it was ok to execute a line like that from there.
What I ideally want is that after, let's say, a user saves an object
through a form, that command is started in background while the user can
already see the web response

Don't know if it's clearer now...

Depending on what you are trying to do (especially: how much) you could use
the 'kernel.terminate'-event instead of a new process.

Solved:

$kernel = $this->get('kernel');
$process = new \Symfony\Component\Process\Process('nohup php '.
$kernel->getRootDir() .'/console my:console:command --env='.
$kernel->getEnvironment() .' > /dev/null 2>&1 &');
$process->run();

You should better use a worker for it. Take a look at Gearman or php-resque
