hi my 1st question on here so be gentle with me. i want to be able to shut down a running process via a web page with a given PID, then run a script to start up the process again from buttons/links located on the web site, the web site is also located on the same linux box. can this be done? via php,dhtml or any web based language. basically i've got 3 game servers located on my linux box, with pid 1000 and 1001 and 1002 for instance. at time i need to shutdown these servers/processes and restart them using a different startup script.sh but i want to allow users to log onto a passworded website. with buttons/links on that will allow them to startup and shutdown these servers from anywhere at the click of a button. any ideas, if this can be done or is there any software out there that might do this or something similar......
