Need some help Windows to Linux

[Aimless]

Can someone please tell me what this code:

	private function Run($sCommand)
{
	require('auth.php');
	require('GetServer.php');
	$sCommand = 'cmd /C '.$sCommand;
	$oShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
	$oShell->Run($sCommand, 0, false);
	return true;
}
public function Start()
{
	require('auth.php');
	require('GetServer.php');
	$this->Run('start /D "'.GAME_DIRECTORY.'" /B '.GAME_BIN_NAME);
	return true;
}
public function Stop()
{
	require('auth.php');
	require('GetServer.php');
	$this->Run('taskkill /F /IM '.GAME_BIN_NAME.' /T');
	return true;
}

would be for Linux, this is working fine to Start and Stop applications on Windows but of course not for Linux as I need to change some of the code, but I'm not sure what to change.

 

All help very much appreciated.

First person to help will get a $1 as thanks

[r.osmanov]

use http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.popen.php

 

And also forget about WScripts in Linux There are great and much more powerful bash, tcsh, sh shells.

I suggest to move to Linux(of practically any disro) since it is less restrictive, more reliable, much more powerful and more interesting as well

 

Good luck.

Hi,

 

Thanks but no luck.

	public function Start()
{
	require('auth.php');
	require('GetServer.php');
	//$this->Run('start /D "'.GAME_DIRECTORY.'" /B '.GAME_BIN_NAME);
        popen("/samp/samp", "r");


//	return true;
}

popen("/samp/samp", "r");

It's not doing anything!

 

Can someone tell me how to start an application in linux, my application is located at /samp/samp, an example on how to start it will do

[r.osmanov]

        popen("/samp/samp", "r");

 

 

// return true;

 

Look at the example #2 at the page http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.popen.php

You should not only open the process, but also read it's output

[r.osmanov]

Are you sure it returns just TRUE? It should normally return file handle

[Aimless]

Are you sure I have to read it, can someone provide me an example of this?

[r.osmanov]

$command = './buttons';
  
  $command = $commandJob.' > /dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!';
  exec($command ,$op);
  $pid = (int)$op[0];

  if($pid!="") {
      sleep(4);
      
      exec("kill -9 $pid", $output); 
  }

 

'buttons' is an executable in my current folder. Replace it with your path

[r.osmanov]

Are you sure I have to read it, can someone provide me an example of this?

I'm sorry. This is a specific thing. Of course, you should not always read it. exec() with Linux shell command pipe tricks will do the job.

I thought of another stuff when posted the reply.

This may not be appropriate but I haven't had any luck with what you guys have kindly suggested, so if anyone can make those three little segments of code in the original post I will PayPal them $3 as thanks, please PM or MSN me(trunetworkenquiries@gmail.com) if you can do it.

[Aimless]

No worries, I worked out how to do it in a simple way, thanks for your help guys
