Call a shell script from php?
 

I have a shell script named "start" that starts a gameserver for me:

#!/bin/sh

start=`date '+%H:%M on %d/%m/%y'`
echo "CoD UO Match server started @ $start" >>/usr/servers/coduomatch1/CoDUOMatch1.log
screen -A -m -d -S CoDUOMatch1 ./coduo_lnxded +set net_port 28965 +exec coduo_sd.cfg +set sv_cheats 0 +map_rotate +set fs_homepath /usr/servers/coduomatch1 +set fs_basepath /usr/servers/coduomatch1 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
echo $! >CoDUOMatch1.pid

I would like to make a simple web page with a button on it to call this script. I can't seem to find any info on how to do this using my usual search methods. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I don't know if php will success with screen program, anyway try :

make a form with action="script.php"

And for script.php :
Maybe edit your start script to give the full path to screen program in case

Use passthru() function it replaces both exec() and system(). It will execute shell script (or other program( and display raw output to your interface. Better read http://in2.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php
