Modify Webadmin

utw-Mephisto · 27th May 2005, 06:52 AM

Hi,

I saw a few days ago a webadmin Interface where the guy was able to stop / start the server and modify the starting script through that.

So, it MUST be possible which is great as would not need to install a webserver on my server anymore.

Has somebody achieved that already and is willing to share

?

If you run a windows server then you can make a simple .bat file to auto-restart the server if it crashes or if you kill the game process through webadmin, but I don't know how it's possible to add that functionality into the actual webadmin interface itself.

Yeah, I know.

I use Linux though ....

What I just need is, how to stop and start a batch (.sh in linux) through simple HTML, this would do the trick ...

IIRC, all of the webadmin coding (including the HTTP server) is done in UnrealScript. I don't know of any UnrealScript function that allows you to execute an arbitrary file (and it would probably cause a security vulnerability as well).

Well .. I don't think so :*(

Well, dunno what to do, but since the first UT Server this question is asked all the time.

HOPEFULLY this will be changed in the new UT.. To get finally a good way to administrate it through that webinterface ....... INCLUDING stop / start / modify startline

Can't you just use ssh and putty?

That's what I use and it's just as fast as using a webpage once you get used to it, ssh and midnight commander = easy as pie

Of course, that is what I am using now.. but I don't want to start teaching co-admins how to work with the linux command line ...

But maybe I just use webmin modules .. this is an idea too ...
