 Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2008 5:27 pm Post subject: Restarting sshd via php & ftp |
 |
|
Today I accidentally killed my sshd process. I don't have physical access to my server, so I can't go over there and reboot it. I am looking to either restart the ssh daemon or the entire server.
I can access my server via FTP (root access) and Apache is running with php capability. I figured out how to run programs via php as user Apache, but sudo is not installed, so it's hard to run a file as root.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. |

Could you trick it into running a cron job? For example, uploading a script to /etc/cron.d/hourly?

Will try uploading something, it'd just have to be a bash script with something like
| Code: | | /etc/rc.d/sshd restart |
right ?
Although I'm not sure if I got cron running. But will try, thanks for the idea ! |

If it's Gentoo, then it's /etc/init.d/sshd restart, but yes, that's the idea. Don't forget to set it executable.
