Re: [PHP] Unable to get output from exec ssh remote-server 'ping -c4 ip'
see this http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4282.html 2009/12/28 robert mena robert.m...@gmail.com: Hi, I need to develop an interface that will, for example, ping IPs from a remote server. So the php script will be hosted in a server with ssh access (key) to the remote server. I can make it work from the console but when I try $cmd = ssh remote-server 'ping -c 4 ip' exec($cmd, $ouput); the output is empty. the same command (with the remote-server and IP changed to the real ones) works fine from command line. I've added the key/config in the webserver's user .ssh directory so I am assuming that that there is something wrong with my setup. any ideas? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Unable to get output from exec ssh remote-server 'ping -c4 ip'
If you are just checking to see if the IP is pingable, but don't care about the output you could just test against the exit code: $host = 'hostorip'; $sshhost = 'hostorip'; $alive = trim( shell_exec( 'ssh ' . $sshhost . ' ping -q -n -c 5 -W 2 ' . $host . ' \/dev/null 2\\1 \\ echo Alive' ) ) == 'Alive'; var_dump( $alive ); I use a variant of the above with good success on Gentoo. Adam.

better try using ssh2_* functions http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ssh2-tunnel.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Probably other ways to do it, but this seems to work: [mich...@archie ~]$ php a.php 259 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.518 ms --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.518/0.518/0.518/0.000 ms [mich...@archie ~]$ cat a.php ?php $stuff = `ssh management 'ping -c 1 192.168.1.1'`; echo strlen($stuff) . \n\n$stuff; - m -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
