Re: [SLUG] web-script
Trevor, Sorry for responding late how are you going to start a network connection from a web page when you need network connection to access the web port? Wouldn't you prefer /etc/init.d/network restart? sorry for sounding stupid. Could I ask what that type of script would be useful for? what i would like is a start / stop link on a web page to run sat the following eg../etc/rc.d/init.d/network start -- Regards, Kevin Saenz Spinaweb I.T consultants Ph: 02 4620 5130 Fax: 02 4625 9243 Mobile: 0418455661 Web: http://www.spinaweb.com.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

RE: [SLUG] web-script
I assume you have two ethernet cards. Otherwise this becomes a comical situation: The machine can't up its network interface because the http side of things isn't running because the NIC is down... :) If you don't have two network cards, then you may want to use something like a cyclades box or a KVM, depending on how far away you are from the box. If you do have two ethernet cards, then your suggestion makes more sense and something like Webmin might be suitable.

Re: [SLUG] web-script
Trevor, Although I question your intentions for running commands over a webpage, try webmin. It has several modules (i think there is one to restart network services), and there is a custom commands section that allows you to run commands from a webpage. Check out http://www.webmin.com. There is an rpm to install webmin quite it easily. Make sure you properly secure webmin by a strong password and access control lists, running under ssl is an even better option if want to use it over internet/public links. Cheers, Shane.

There is probably a similar function like this in perl (Gus!) or you could use CGI with an interpreter like /bin/sh. i think it is also necessary to switch the user to root to restart the network. and therefor it will be necessary to have a set-suid-wrapper which starts a shell for execution. calling the script without root permission wont work. except you run the apache or what else as root (i hope not :))) ) cya -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
