How to reboot server with PHP code?

Hi ,

Just want to know how we can reboot linux server with php code.

Thanks,

 

I don't think it's possible unless you are running a vps/dedicated machine.

Hi,

I think it is possible through php sodu but i need code

Thanks,

 

If it is linux or unix, you should be able to execute the reboot command, assuming you have permission. I'm not what will happen to your script though once you do, as it'll probably be killed immediately.

 

Hi,

Please study sodu then you will understand , sodu gives root power to any thread on linux.

I think i have to find solution my self.

Thanks,

 

You mean sudo. If the script is running as root you can exec("reboot");

 

oh sorry i spelled it wrong it is "sudo"

thanks for the info,

 

Note: The below is dangerous if you're unsure what you're doing

You'll need to visudo as root, add something like:

user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown

Code (markup):

Then run:

<?php
`shutdown -r now`;
?>

PHP:

Never use nobody or apache. The script should run as user (replace into visudo code above) but that user shouldn't be shared by other scripts, i.e. nobody. If you run it as root, just the PHP code is required.
