Remote shutdown

[mirainc]

Hi all,

I want to do a remote shutdown to PC that is in the same domain as mine. I managed to do a command prompt version and it works but now i need to add it in my application, so i tried converting it to PHP, but i cannot seem to get the result i want. Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong..

In CMD:
c:\WINDOWS\Power\psshutdown.exe \\172.16.223.213 -u sadmin -p studadmin -f -k -t 1

In PHP:
[PHP]
if (isset($_POST['Rshutdown']) && ($_POST['Rshutdown'] == 'Shutdown'))
{
$ipaddress = (' \\\\' .$_POST['Ripadd']);
$username = (' -u ' .$_POST['Rname']);
$userpw = (' -p ' .$_POST['Rpw']);
$shutdownMins = (' -t ' .$_POST['Rmins']);
$all = (($ipaddress) .($username) .($userpw));
$remoteshutdown = ('c:\windows\power\psshutdown.exe' .($all) .' -f -r' .($shutdownMins));
echo "$remoteshutdown";
$a = shell_exec($remoteshutdown);
}
[/PHP]

Thanks in advance..

when you do that echo there, is the output correct?

if so, it may be some kind of weird permission problem I think.

shell_exec() should work.

something else you can do is capture the output, send it to a file for example: command > test.txt

sends the output of "command" to test.txt in your working directory.


Good luck,


Dan

hi Dan,
Yes the echo output is correct but i cannot figure out why it does not execute in cmd.. any other way to execute the command in cmd? besides shell_exec() because its still not working.

Thanks

Try simply echoing the output of the shell_exec function. See if that returns anything useful.

Another thing... is it possible that there is a space missing between "psshutdown.exe" and the following parameters?

Ok. Actually when i echo "$remoteshutdown"; the output i get is:
c:\WINDOWS\Power\psshutdown.exe \\172.16.223.213 -u sadmin -p studadmin -f -r -t 60

so i actually copied n pasted tat echo line into cmd and it works. So now i donno why the shell_exec() won't execute the line.

When i echo the shell_exec() function i get nothing. but if i don input any values i get the options for psshutdown (like, the different commands that shutdown, restart etc..) but when i input the ipaddress, username, pw n time nothing happens.
