Publisher review:Pcom (php commander) is a web interface to execute shell commands/external programs on a server. Pcom is a PHP-driven webtelnet, that is a web interface to execute shell commands/external programs on a server. Obviously there are limitations, derived mainly by security limitations on the webserver (ie safe_mode in php).
There is also a limitation on the program function itself, because you can only use non-interactive commands: you can launch a command or a program that doesn't need user interaction, but you cannot use something like lynx or irc (you can only launch an interactive application in background, driving it automatically by arguments and/or scripts -where possible-).
Remember that you can only launch a command, you don't drive a real shell. So, if you launch a ping it will go forever because you cannot take back the control on the stdin, while launching a traceroute you should get back control and output of the command because it terminates itself without user interaction.
Pcom is a PHP script for Server Management scripts design by Giancarlo Erra.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
