RE: [PHP] run a command on a remote host

Well, it is not possible directly, but you can try some of the following; $cmd = "rsh -l user host command"; // remote shell $cmd = "rpc -l user host command"; // remote procedure call $cmd = "rexec -l user host command"; // remote exec $cmd = "ssh host command"; // secure shell (recommended, but not always available) exec($cmd, $returnlines); // your php command for one of the above foreach($returnlines as $line) echo $line."<br>"; // output results I haven't checked the syntax of the various commands, but I think this answers your question about a few options that might be available. rsh, rexec, rpc and ssh are defined best in Unix references, but many are also available if your php server is windows based. good luck, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Taylor [mailto:Lakario@msn.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 3:48 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net; Ivone Uribe Subject: Re: [PHP] run a command on a remote host When you say remote host do you mean the server executing the script or the person accessing it?
