I want to run a script on my ubuntu server with a variable from php in it.
Here are some of the things i've tried to pass a variable to ubuntu...
shell_exec('vpsName=HI3');
vpsName=`mysql -D jake_db -h 127.0.0.1 -u jake -pXXXXXXX -se "SELECT vpsName FROM reinstalls WHERE status = 'pending'"`;
The final way in which i thought I could fix it was to avoid running the script through ubuntu all together and run it from shell_exec(); but it fails on running the guestfish commands.
Here is my entire reinstalls.sh script.
sudo rm /var/lib/libvirt/images/"$vpsName".qcow2 && sudo wget -O /var/lib/libvi$
guestfish -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/"$vpsName".qcow2 <<'EOF'
run
mount /dev/ubuntu-vg/root /
rm /etc/network/interfaces
EOF
sudo fusermount -u /mnt && virsh start "$vpsName" && echo "IT WORKED!"
I am open to any way of getting this to work, as long as its secure, Thanks in advance, Jake
EDIT:
If I run the script with a VPS name instead of a variable, it works. I just can't find a way to pass the variables from the website to the ubuntu16.04 OS.
