So from server A where I am running a web app, needs to run the shell_exec('df -kP') on server B, which also has php installed, so that i can display the results in my web app on server A. Hope that makes sense! Also, how would i fopen a file such as /proc/cpuinfo on Server B from Server A. Any help greatly appreciated Regards Ade -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
