Remote execution [WIN32]

hurrycain

I want to know if there is any way to make a script that allows webusers to run "Exe"-files on the server. i.ex if they click a button or a link.

i run php 4 and IIS 5.1

[man]exec[/man]

lol

😃

Thanks..

I have tried that with no success... but ill try it again if there is no ohter way 🙂

are you trying to pass the executable additional arguments?

hurrycain

Here is the deal.

I have a spearhead clan, and i want that the members of the clan should be able to start and stop the serverprogram from a restricted part of our hompage.

Thanks

So why aren't you having success with exec? What have you tried? Have you instead tried [man]system[/man] or [man]passthru[/man]? Let's see the code the doesn't work....

I have only tried exec.

It seems to work, and starts the program in the background (Would be better in the foreground).

But I can not enter the gameserver. (it is in the "processes"-list)

Her is some of the code i have tried.

This one starts the program.
$cmd = "\"D:\EA GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead_server.exe";
exec($cmd);

cmd runs alone with this one (twice?)
<?php
exec('c:\WINXP\system32\cmd.exe /c START D:\EA GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead_server.exe');
?>

This is the syntax i want to run the program with.
D:\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead_server.exe +set developer 2 +set dedicated 2 +set ui_console 1 +set chat 0 +set sv_chatter 0 +set logfile 3 +exec train.cfg +set g_logsync 1

<?php
$cmd = '"D:\\EA GAMES\\MOHAA\\moh_spearhead_server.exe"'; // must keep double quotes to use spaces in pathname
//echo $cmd;
exec('"'.$cmd.'"'); // must encapsulate in quotes so that Windows command intepreter does not strip first " from $cmd
?>

I had a similar problem with calling the NetPBM convert tools in a pathname with spaces (also used the Windows command interpreter) and had to escape it in this manner. I'm not sure if the command interpreter would accept the additional parameters, but if it does, this would be the actual command:

$cmd = '"D:\\EA GAMES\\MOHAA\\moh_spearhead_server.exe" +set developer 2 +set dedicated 2 +set ui_console 1 +set chat 0 +set sv_chatter 0 +set logfile 3 +exec train.cfg +set g_logsync 1';

Hope this helps!

Ahaa Il'try that.

Ok- the gameserver runs as a proces, not as "console" as i wished, and i cant enter the game from outside.

Another thing is that i get a timeout in the browser, the program was written to return "Server is running" on the side that we can start the server from.
