Re: Re: [PHP] exec or system in windowz to stop mysql or apache from remote (and restart them)

If your running IE5, try this saved as file.hta: <html> <head> <script> function runApp(){ var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); shell.run('notepad.exe' ,1,false); } </script> </head> <body> <button onClick="runApp()">run app</button> This is a little bit of windows scripting host functionality. It has to be in an HTA to get around security. I would imagine this can be done in IE4 or Netscape, you have to figure out how to get around security though.
