Re: Re: run remote shell script

OK. I am able to setup remote key authentication between svrA and svrB. From svrA I can login to svrB with something like [www@svrA www]$ ssh www@svrB and I can also execute a shell script like [www@svrA www]$ ssh www@svrB /tmp/test.sh On svrA I have a PHP script like so: <? system('ssh www@svrB /tmp/test.sh someDIR'); ?> /tmp/test.sh on svrB is only a one liner like so: mkdir /tmp/$1 I ran the script from the browser but the /tmp/someDIR is not created :( Could it be that user nobody on svrA is *not* allowed to connect to svrB because the public key belongs to user www ? How do I rectify this ? In the actual situation, I need to execute a shell script in svrB (from browser served by Apache on svrA) that only root can run. Please advise. I am getting very worried. -- Roger Quoting Matthew Weier O'Phinney <mweierophinney@gmail.com>: > * Roger Thomas <sniper@home.net.my>: > > My PHP script is in svrA.
