Re: rebooting linux using php

This can be done using the exec() function, the php.net doc will explain how it work. There are a few known problem as I can see if someone try to reboot the Linux/Unix. 1) If the hacker break-in and take control of hte script. Who know what could have happen. 2) If using encryption and use passphrase to start up Apache, it is a darn problem getting the passphrase be entered automatically. 3) If people are online to that one website and the machine reboot, everyone would get cut off of that website.
