Webserver触发ssh shell脚本

Question

I have googled this a lot but none of the results I have found worked for me. So far, I have only tried to do this with php, but cgi, javascript or whatever works is fine with me, as long as it gets the job done.

I would like to access a certain URL on my debian webserver. Once opened in the browser, this file shall execute the following shell commands. No buttons or links. If possible, I'd like to just open the URL, then have the script being started.

    ssh user@192.168.189.12 <<'ENDSSH'
    osascript ~/Desktop/Scripts/script.scpt

When running this as a regular .sh file it works fine. I have created lockkeys so that no password is prompted when connecting from A to B. What can I do to trigger this from, for example, the browser on my smartphone?

I am not trying to connect directly from any device to the Mac containing script.scpt. It is essential that the debian server triggers it and that it is executed by the webserver.

I just started learning about terminal comments, scripts and so on, so I have very basic knowledge of the subject. Please be patient with me.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Answer 1

for simplicity I prefer to create a bash script. Let's call it

/var/NONwebroot/sshcoolstuff.sh

#!/bin/bash
  ssh user@192.168.189.12 <<'ENDSSH'
  osascript ~/Desktop/Scripts/script.scpt

make sure it is executable

<?php

exec('/var/NONWwebroot/sshcoolstuff.sh');

?>

Now I'd recommend putting some protection on that PHP script. Either limit who has access to it by IP address, or a password, or both.

here is a test bash script for you

#!/bin/sh
cat > test << EOF
Hello World!
This is my test text file.
