Open program from a webpage

[Hanscento]

Hi,

I would like to create a webpage that can open a .bat file on the server.

 

I got the idea from VPS hosting, where you can turn on and off servers from your browser

i would like something similar, that “double click” on a .bat

 

on Google I find only scripts that are running thru ActiveX or other deprecated softwares which I don’t want to use…

 

Any idea ?

What server? The server hosting the page?

PHP can do this, using exec() to call external programs you can execute scripts on the server-side to shut it down, perform reboots or other tasks.

Needless to say, exec() is insecure if you trust it with any external input.

Is this something that needs to be run on demand or can it run on a schedule?
