I want to run a few shell commands to rcmd between unix servers and display the results within a webpage - how do I code a shell command within a PHP script??????

Please look at:

http://ca2.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php

The big caveats:
Make sure there is no way arbitrary code could be passed to the shell. There's a bunch of commands to help you with that.
Personally, if there's a different way to ascertain the desired data, use it.

The output of the shell command/scripts etc. can be taken easily into PHP.
