Re: Trying to run expect from web page

You might have better luck with this on a PHP forum/list.

You would also need to provide more information. For example: where are you running the knock-3-times vs. the "expect" script; can you share more of the source (not here, since this is not a PHP list); what works or does not work - not counting this line; what version of apache,php and what security features might you have enabled; etc.

I'm going on vacation and want to check in to my server.  I've written a knock-3-times.php webpage with the idea of then running an expect script to: telnet modem, echo iptables nat -s $IP etc.  which would allow me get in to my server.

The expect script runs just fine but in the page:  exec ("<path>/modfirewall.exp");  does nothing - it's as if the line is #exec ("...  commented out.  Suggestions?

Thanks
