Using exec

[dlynas]

I am trying to run part of the pstools kit on a webpage - It is a web-based computer management system, so for it lists all computers in a OU and their MAC address and their is the ability to WOL them, i want to run psloggedon which returns who is logged onto the machine from a php page but do not know how to do with a return the result, psloggedon take the computername as a parameter. Can anyone help me please?

What would the command you want to run look like when placed in a term?

[dlynas]

Basically at a command prompt you type psloggedon \\computername and it returns the users that are logged on, i want to be able to use this on a webpage to print the result to the screen

[trq]

<?php

  function psloggedon($pcname) {
    return shell_exec("psloggedon \\\\$pcname");
  }

  echo psloggedon('foo');

?>

[dlynas]

Thanks for your reply, where does the 'foo' come from?

[trq]

That is just a fictional computer name I used as an example.

Yeah i just got it, i have tried it, its runs without any errors but doesnt return anythign to the screen?

Alot of shell apps do so when there are errors. What do you get when you type that exact command at the term, and can we see the exact command you used.

[dlynas]

the command is

 

psloggededon \\computername

 

 

It returns

 

N:\Tools\TNT\geeky\PsTools>psloggedon \\rowlands

Then you need to do that here aswell.

 

<?php

  function psloggedon($pcname) {
    return shell_exec("N:\Tools\TNT\geeky\PsTools\psloggedon \\\\$pcname");
  }

  echo psloggedon('foo');

?>

[dlynas]

Yes i have changed the php script to look at a directory where the exe is already

[trq]

Sorry, you'd need to use....

 

return shell_exec("N:\\Tools\\TNT\\geeky\\PsTools\\psloggedon \\\\$pcname");

 

Damn windows sucks.

[dlynas]

Yes, yes it does, but still no output
