[cod] Output directory redirection

Thu Feb 2 21:42:13 EST 2006

The problem is nobody home is /root in my case (probably because he has 
no homedir )  and i don't want give nobody write rights on /root
In fact, what i do in real, is a sudo with the server user from php , 
but sadly, it doesn't change the user $HOME
So i am stuck with that.

This is my shell script: (french messages)
[code]

case "$1" in
    start)
        if ( pgrep -f $SERVER ); then
            echo "Un $SERVER est deja lance?";
            echo "Utilisez option restart"
            exit 1
        else
            if [ "$UID" = "0" ]; then
                echo ATTENTION ! Pour des raisons de securite , il est 
conseille de NE PAS LANCER LE SERVER EN ROOT
                for c in $(seq 1 10); do
                    echo -n "!"
                    sleep 1
                done
                echo !
            fi
            cd $WHERE
            echo "starting $SERVER"
            if [ -e $SERVER ]; then
                if [ ! -x $SERVER ]; then
                    echo "$SERVER n'est pas executable, tentavive de le 
changer"
                    chmod u+x $SERVER
                fi

                else
                    echo "$SERVER n'est pas executable, modifiez le"
                    exit 4
                fi
            else
                echo "$SERVER introuvable"
                exit 5
            fi
        fi
    ;;
    stop)
        if ( pgrep -f $SERVER ); then
            echo "stopping the $SERVER"
            pkill -f $SERVER
        else
            echo "Pas de $SERVER a arreter"
            exit 3
        fi
    ;;
    restart)
        $0 stop && $0 start || exit 1
    ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restarts}"
        exit 2
esac
exit 0

And this is my php page
[code]
<?php
$server = $_REQUEST['server'];
$act = $_REQUEST['act'];

$output = array(); 
$output[] = $server.' '.$act;

switch($server)
{
    case 'cod2'         : $command = '/home/admin12S/cod2/cod2.sh'; break;
    default : $command = '';
}

switch ($act)
{
    case 'start'    :
    case 'stop'     :
    case 'restart'  : $action = $act; break;
    default : $action='';    
}

if ($command!=''&&$action!='')
{
    $result = exec('sudo -u serverAdmin '.$command.' 
'.$action,$output,$return_val);
}

$value ="";
foreach ($output as $line) $value.=$line."\r\n";

?>
