Question

What I want to do is create a small webpage with 3 links when a particular link is clicked it runs a particular ssh script through console

for example if I wanted to make “STOP” and when it’s clicked it would go to a ssh script…say stop.sh and that would just have stop in it, this would stop the server.

Is their an easy way to do this?

Answer 1

Yes, You can run. Following methods allows your to run commands in shell

1. shell_exec
2. popen
3. system
4. exec
5. pcntl_exec
6. proc_open
7. backtick (`)

Invoking shell is not a good practice. Try to use equivalent PHP functions.
