Execute Shell Script From PHP

[JustinK101]

What is the best way to execute a linux shell script on a remote server directly from php. So this would assume ssh'ing into a server, and then executing a script. Is is then possible?

 

pseudocode

<?php
      $ssh_handle = ssh("12.34.56.78", 'root', 'password');
      execute("/home/myscript.sh", $ssh_handle);
?>

See ssh. Though you may not actually need it just to execute a simple script.

 

Root login should never be allowed through ssh though.
