Go back and look at post #40. computersavvy had a good idea for a workaround about using a system cron script to monitor if a file exists or not.

this option not is viable.

And still ignoring the questions/options in post #59, for some reason???

AGAIN: why can't you use SNMP or Webmin?? Simple question.

Of course you get that!

I see this for the apache user. You can not su to a user that cannot login; because doing so would require you to have a shell running as that user.
This is another security feature of the system designed to prevent web browsers from having the ability to execute malicious code on the system.

thanks,
my requeriment only is restart using PHP from browser.

webmin not is a option becouse I can't interconnect this to my project.

abaut SNMP, this can work in union with browser + PHP ?

ok, then how I can restart from PHP using browser ?

Why is it a 'requirement' to use PHP?? Again, what is your ACTUAL GOAL??
And we're now five pages into your thread and you mention a 'project'...WHAT project?? What do you need to 'interconnect', and why?? Unless you actually answer questions and acknowledge/understand what people are telling you, no one will be able to do ANYTHING to assist.
AGAIN: your apparent goal is to reboot a computer over a network connection. SNMP and Webmin can do it. If you don't know what SNMP is, you can go look it up at this point. You seem to ignore things, and aren't asking clear questions or even clearly defining what your goal(s) are.

If this is a homework project, you have EVERYTHING you need in this thread to be able to reboot a computer via a PHP page.

You go back to the first page of this thread, and read what people have been telling you over and over. You then APPLY that knowledge. That's it.

Again, you've been given everything you need to do this, along with several options for doing exactly what you claim to want, which is shutting down/rebooting a computer over the network.

Here is another workaround assuming that your php version has a built in web server.

Create a regular user with sudo privileges without a password.

copy the reboot php script to the user's home page.

start the web server as that regular user

php -S localhost:8000 /home/username/ file.php

To reboot the device http://web:8000/file.php

The only caveat is the php server does not support https. I have not tried starting it from localhost:8000 and then tried redirecting https://web/file.php to localhost:8000/reboot.php

reatart and more from browserthanks.

The point is from my LAMP not work.

thanks by your time.

the idea is start apache as user "jhon" ??

mmm... good idea, I will try.

And you apparently are *STILL* not paying attention. What is the 'and more'?? WHY from your browser?? What doesn't Webmin do that you need???
And it doesn't work because you aren't following the advice you're given.

AGAIN:

• WHY are you doing this???
• WHY can you not use SNMP???
• WHY are you ignoring the advice about the horrible security involving this???

And before you say it's a 'requirement for your project', you STILL haven't told us what this project is or any of the 'requirements' you have. If this is your homework, then you need to go tell your teacher you need help.

many thanks by your help,
security not is problem becouse is project running in LAN.

By now,
only post #69 resolve my problem.


Regards

Sorry, no. If you actually think/believe that you are in a VERY bad spot at your company.
...which you could have done quite a while ago, but had to get someone else to put it together for you. And AGAIN, you are *STILL NOT ANSWERING* the question about why SNMP and Webmin aren't available.

Or is this your homework?

oh sure big TB0ne
