Technically you can likely use exec() if it is allowed by your PHP configuration.

Doesn't that freeze the calling process till the new process stops?

Hm, any reason to not have that bot running always? Not that it generates much traffic or CPU load...

Well, if the process froze it means the bot "running" the other bot would go unresponsive.
Example: bot1 starts bot2, bot2 works fine, bot1 doesn't respond till bot2 shuts down.
Not really an effective solution.
That would be if exec() is used.
