Run commands on sun solaris box using PHP script and output to page

[dreamaz]

Hello,

I'd like to create a php page with a txtfield requesting user to enter in a number and using that variable, run a grep command on a sun solaris box against a logfile - and return the results back to the page.

Im relatively knew to the sun side of things, but I am ok with PHP, any help is apprecaited.

Thanks,

dR

Ohh i forgot, this should include an SSH <ip> command at the begining so it can ssh into a box here and also the pasword which i can include in the script, then from there it will do the command line GREP etc..

Thanks

sounds like you ought to be asking the sun chaps. if you're ok with php (as you say) then it is just a question of using an appropriate system call (the backtick probably) to run the command and capture the output.
