Open gnome-terminal from php script - php

I want to try to open gnome-terminal from php script:
shell_exec('bash /data/manager/application/.shell/system.sh');
This script use a function to check terminal:
SCRIPTCURRENT=`readlink -m $0`
SCRIPTCURRENTPATH=$(dirname "$SCRIPTCURRENT")
runintoterminal () {
if ! [ -t 1 ]; then
gnome-terminal -e "bash $1"
exit 0
fi
}
runintoterminal $SCRIPTCURRENT
I've tried:
shell_exec('gnome-terminal');
But it's doesn't work... (I know it's possible...) But how to ?
I use nginx and php-fpm. With my own socket. nginx and socket use my user and not www-data. (I'm on ubuntu 14.04LTS)
I've try 0777 rights...
My bash script can run from netbeans IDE ans terminal... but not from php...

The problem is most likely that gnome-terminal doesn't know where it should draw itself. Normally it shows up on the same display as the program that launched it (IDE, terminal), but web servers don't have displays so it doesn't know where to go. You can try DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal -e "bash $1" to show it on the current first local graphical login session, if it has permissions for that.
that other guy
shell_exec('DISPLAY=:0 bash /data/manager/application/.shell/system.sh');
Or on function:
SCRIPTCURRENT=`readlink -m $0`
SCRIPTCURRENTPATH=$(dirname "$SCRIPTCURRENT")
runintoterminal () {
if ! [ -t 1 ]; then
DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal -e "bash $1"
exit 0
fi
}
runintoterminal $SCRIPTCURRENT

PHP shell_exec - bash kill httpd.exe then run httpd.exe again (need to restart Apache on Windows without service installed)

I have a php script that running on my local Windows machine and i need to restart Apache server from that script. I may stop Apache from that script but can't start it because it is being stopped and php execution after apache-stop is interrupted.
My php code is
shell_exec('bash -c "source ~/.bashrc && apache-stop && some-command && apache-start"');
//bash.exe is in PATH already
Bash functions ~/.bashrc
function apache-stop {
( tskill httpd )
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
echo "Apache stopped."
fi
}
function apache-start {
tasklist | grep -a "httpd.exe" > /dev/null
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
echo "Apache already running."
else
echo "Start Apache."
( /c/xampp/apache/bin/httpd.exe & )
fi
}
I use Apache on Windows 8.1 only as console application and run/kill it from bash console, hence i can't use Apache as a Windows Service. How to run apache-stop, some-command and apache-start from that php script, may be there is a way to run externally all this bash functions?

Add php and composer alias on QNAP Startup

I came across a couple of issues with my QNAP NAS TS-251+ whilst developing a new project these are:
1) There is no php alias and when I add one via command line it is removed on NAS Restart.
2) A similar thing happens for Composer except on restart it removes Composer as well from the system.
How can I stop this from happening or get around it so that when my NAS restarts the php and composer alias are already set.
I managed to resolve this issue by adding a new script that runs when my NAS starts up. QNAP have provided some basic instructions on how to add a startup script on their wiki page under Running Your Own Application at Startup. However I added a couple more steps t
These steps are fairly basic:
Login to your NAS Server via SSH.
Run the following command mount $(/sbin/hal_app --get_boot_pd port_id=0)6 /tmp/config (Running ls /tmp/config will give you something similar to below)
Run vi /tmp/config/autorun.sh this will allow you to edit/create a file called autorun.sh **
For me I wanted to keep this file as simple as possible so I didn't have to change it much, so the script is just called from with this Shell Script. So add the following to autorun.sh.
autorun.sh code example:
#!/bin/sh
# autorun script for Turbo NAS
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/autorun/autorun_startup.sh start
exit 0
You will notice a path of /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/autorun/ this is where my new script that I want to run is contained, you don't have to have yours here if you don't want to however I know the script will not be removed if placed here. autorun_startup.sh this is the name of the script I want to be running, and start is the command in the script I want to be running.
Run chmod +x /tmp/config/autorun.sh to make sure that autorun.sh is actually runnable.
Save the file and run umount /tmp/config (Important).
Navigate to the folder you have put in the autorun.sh (script in my case /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/autorun/) and create any folders along the way that you need.
Create your new shell file using vi and call it whatever you want (Again in my case it is called autorun_startup.sh) and add your script to the file. The script I added is below but you can add whatever you want to you startup script.
autorun_startup.sh code example:
#!/bin/sh
RETVAL=0
QPKG_NAME="autorun"
APACHE_ROOT=`/sbin/getcfg SHARE_DEF defWeb -d Qweb -f
/etc/config/def_share.info`
QPKG_DIR=$(/sbin/getcfg $QPKG_NAME Install_Path -f /etc/config/qpkg.conf)
addPHPAlias() {
/bin/cat /etc/profile | /bin/grep "php" | /bin/grep "/usr/local/apache/bin/php" 1>>/dev/null 2>>/dev/null
[ $? -ne 0 ] && /bin/echo "alias php='/usr/local/apache/bin/php'" >> /etc/profile
}
addComposerAlias() {
/bin/cat /etc/profile | /bin/grep "composer" | /bin/grep "/usr/local/bin/composer" 1>>/dev/null 2>>/dev/null
[ $? -ne 0 ] && /bin/echo "alias composer='/usr/local/bin/composer'" >> /etc/profile
}
addPHPComposerAlias() {
/bin/cat /etc/profile | /bin/grep "php-composer" | /bin/grep "/usr/local/apache/bin/php /usr/local/bin/composer" 1>>/dev/null 2>>/dev/null
[ $? -ne 0 ] && /bin/echo "alias php-composer='php /usr/local/bin/composer'" >> /etc/profile
}
download_composer() {
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | /usr/local/apache/bin/php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
}
case "$1" in
start)
/bin/echo "Enable PHP alias..."
/sbin/log_tool -t 0 -a "Enable PHP alias..."
addPHPAlias
/bin/echo "Downloading Composer..."
/sbin/log_tool -t 0 -a "Downloading Composer..."
download_composer
/bin/echo "Enable composer alias..."
/sbin/log_tool -t 0 -a "Enable composer alias..."
addComposerAlias
/bin/echo "Adding php composer alias..."
/sbin/log_tool -t 0 -a "Adding php composer alias..."
addPHPComposerAlias
/bin/echo "Use it: php-composer"
/sbin/log_tool -t 0 -a "Use it: php-composer"
;;
stop)
;;
restart)
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL
Run chmod +x /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/autorun/autorun_startup.sh to make sure your script is runnable.
Restart your NAS System to make sure the script has been run. After restart for my script I just did php -version via terminal to make sure that the php alias worked and it did.
(*) With steps 3 and 8 you can either do this via something like WinSCP or continue doing it via command line (SSH). For me I chose to do it via WinSCP but here is the command still for SSH
I am fairly new to server related stuff so if anyone has a better way cool.

Starting FOREVER or PM2 as WWW-DATA from a PHP script

I have a nodejs script named script.js.
var util = require('util');
var net = require("net");
process.on("uncaughtException", function(e) {
console.log(e);
});
var proxyPort = "40000";
var serviceHost = "1.2.3.4";
var servicePort = "50000";
net.createServer(function (proxySocket) {
var connected = false;
var buffers = new Array();
var serviceSocket = new net.Socket();
serviceSocket.connect(parseInt(servicePort), serviceHost);
serviceSocket.pipe(proxySocket).pipe(serviceSocket);
proxySocket.on("error", function (e) {
serviceSocket.end();
});
serviceSocket.on("error", function (e) {
console.log("Could not connect to service at host "
+ serviceHost + ', port ' + servicePort);
proxySocket.end();
});
proxySocket.on("close", function(had_error) {
serviceSocket.end();
});
serviceSocket.on("close", function(had_error) {
proxySocket.end();
});
}).listen(proxyPort);
I am runing it normally like nodejs script.js, but now i want to include forever or pm2 functionalities as well. When i am root everything works smootly:
chmod -R 777 /home/nodejs/forever/;
-- give rights
watch -n 0.1 'ps ax | grep forever | grep -v grep'
-- watch forwarders (where i see if a forever is opened)
/usr/local/bin/forever -d -v --pidFile "/home/nodejs/forever/file.pid" --uid 'file' -p '/home/nodejs/forever/' -l '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -o '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -e '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -a start /etc/dynamic_ip/nodejs/proxy.js 41789 1.2.3.4:44481 414 file
-- open with forever
forever list
-- it is there, i can see it
forever stopall
-- kill them all
The problem is when i want to run the script from a PHP script with the system or exec functions :
sudo -u www-data /usr/local/bin/forever -d -v --pidFile "/home/nodejs/forever/file.pid" --uid 'file' -p '/home/nodejs/forever/' -l '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -o '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -e '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -a start /etc/dynamic_ip/nodejs/proxy.js 41789 1.2.3.4:44481 414 file
-- open as www-data (or i can do this just by accessing `http://1.2.3.4/test.php`, it is the same thing)
forever list
-- see if it is there, and it is not (i see it in watch)
forever stopall
-- says no forever is opened
kill PID_ID
-- the only way is to kill it by pid ... and on another server all of this works very well, can create and kill forevers from a php script when accessing it from web ... not know why
-- everything is in /etc/sudoers including /usr/local/bin/forever
Why is that? How can i solve this?
I also made some trick, created a user 'forever2', i created a script.sh with this content :
sudo su forever2 user123; /usr/local/bin/forever -d -v --pidFile "/home/nodejs/forever/file.pid" --uid 'file' -p '/home/nodejs/forever/' -l '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -o '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -e '/home/nodejs/forever/file.log' -a start /etc/dynamic_ip/nodejs/proxy.js 41789 1.2.3.4:44481 414 file;
where user123 is not existent, is just a trick to exit the shell after execution. The script works, runs forever, i can close all forevers with the command forever stopall from root. When i try the same thing running the http://1.2.3.4/test.php or as www-data user i cannot close it from root or www-data, so not even this works.
I tried from Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS , Debian GNU/Linux 8 ... still the same thing.
Any ideeas?
Thanks.
If you are starting the process from within Apache or the web-server you are already as the www-data user, so doing a sudo su to the user context you already have is likely not necessary.
When you start this forever task you may also be required to shut the terminals/inputs and directly send to background. Something like this:
// Assemble command
$cmd = '/usr/bin/forever';
$cmd.= ' -d -v --pidfile /tmp/my.pid'; // add other options
$cmd.= ' start';
$cmd.= ' /etc/dynamic_ip/nodejs/proxy.js';
// "magic" to get details
$cmd.= ' 2>&1 1>/tmp/output.log'; // Route STDERR to STDOUT; STDOUT to file
$cmd.= ' &'; // Send whole task to background.
system($cmd);
Now, there won't be any output here but you should have something in /tmp/output.log which could show why forever failed, or the script crashed.
If you've been running the script sometimes as root, then trying the same command as www-data you may also be running into a permissions on one or more files/directories created from the execution as root which now conflict when running as www-data.
This is part of PHP security you say you're running it from a php script and your not your running it from Apache via a php script.
PHP web scripts should not have root access as such they run under the same permissions as Apache user www-data.
There are ways to prevent php running as root but run a task as root but it's a little hacky and I'm not going to share the code but I will explain so you can look into it. here is where to start
http://php.net/manual/en/function.proc-open.php
With a Proccess like this you can then execute a proc. Like your script.js via nodeJS using SUDO and then read stdOut and stdErr wait for password request then provide it by writing to stdIn for that process.
Don't forget in doing this the user www-data has to have a password and be in the sudoers list
Per the OPs Comment
Due to the way SUDO works the PATH does not appear to contain the path to the node executables npm, node so your best of building a .sh (bash script) and using sudo to run that.
You still need to monitor this process as it will still ask for a password
#!/bin/bash
sudo -u ec2-user -i
# change this to the path you want to run from
cd ~
/usr/local/bin/pm2 -v

How to launch unoconv from php file

I want to launch the command "unoconv" from a script php.
$command = '/usr/bin/unoconv --server localhost --port 2002 --format=pdf file.rtf >/dev/null 2>/dev/null';
$rc = system( $command );
echo $rc;
The command return no result and the file is not created.
I think is a problem from access with www-data and unoconv.
When I'm launching the command in shell, the file is created.
Any idea?
You can add command unoconv to sudoers.
I do this in this way:
I create wrapper bash script in for example /usr/local/bin where I have command unoconv.
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Must pass file";
exit 10;
fi
/usr/bin/unoconv -f pdf $1.rtf
after this I adding entry in /etc/sudoers.d:
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/unoconv.sh
And now you can call script in php:
exec('sudo /usr/local/bin/unoconv.sh '.$fileName);
Try to run
$output = `/usr/bin/unoconv --server localhost --port 2002 --format=pdf file.rtf`;
instead and see error messages.
For me works like this:
$cmd = "/usr/bin/unoconv -f docx files/thefile";
shell_exec($cmd);
of course you have to do this previously (if you lounch your php script from the web):
chown -R www-data:www-data files/
I have found a solution to this problem when running Apache. You have to create the home folder for the www-data user
sudo mkdir /home/www-data
sudo chown www-data /home/www-data
Lastly we will have to edit the home directory and default shell for the www-data user
sudo vim /etc/passwd
For the entry of www-data the last two strings have to be replaced respectively with
/home/www-data
/bin/bash
Simple as this
$output = shell_exec('/opt/libreoffice5.0/program/python unoconv -f rtf test.html');
Edit the path to suite your configuration.
It just works!
You may be running into an issue with LibreOffice, OpenOffice or soffice not being able to write to the current user's $HOME directory.
By running the command below I was able to identify the correct $HOME directory and see the error that was being generated.
$cmd = 'echo $HOME & unoconv -vvvv --format %s --output %s %s 2>/tmp/unoconv.debug.txt';
exec($cmd);
The verbose output of $cmd will be generated written to the file: /tmp/unoconv.debug.txt.
In my case the output was:
Verbosity set to level 5
DEBUG: Connection type: socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=2002,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext
DEBUG: Existing listener not found.
DEBUG: Launching our own listener using /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin.
Failed to connect to /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin (pid=32012) in 6 seconds.
Connector : couldn't connect to socket (Success)
Error: Unable to connect or start own listener. Aborting.
The command ran seemed to fine as root, and as sudo -u nobody. On seeing this output I realized there was an issue with the home directory.
Kudos to Dag Wieers for his help - I'm hoping this helps other unoconv devs with their debugging.
