Greetings,
I am trying to execute a shell script which is residing on a webserver on a remote machine with no luck. I have tried the following. It looks like it runs but I never see the output from the script on machine2. Any suggestions. Thanks,

from machine 1:
echo exec('http://machine2/script.sh);

and

from machine1:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://machine2/script.sh");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>

What is the result of your curl_exec()? How do you know the shell
script is working? What happens when you try to execute the shell
script from a browser?

exec() executes commands in the shell running on the local machine (where
PHP is running), assuming it is allowed (for security reasons, it usually is
not). http://machine2/script.sh is not a command in any known shell
script language.

Even if a Web server would serve that resource, it would not execute it by
default, IOW by default you would receive only the source code of the shell
script, not its output.

The way to do this is to set php up on the remote server to have a web
page run that script.

e.g. on the machine2 that runs a script have a php file that does this

echo (exec('script.sh'));

and then on machine1 simply use curl to point not at the script, but at
the URL of the php file that actually runs that script.

That is not the only way.

Your From header field still violates RFC 5536, and several other
conventions and rules.

Firstly, you say "It looks like it runs"

What evidence do you have for this?

What entries appear in the webserver logs on the server after attempting
this? You probably want to check any log file in the apache logs dir that
has it's timestamp modified when you try and access the script.

What entries appear in the webserver logs on the server after attempting
this?

Are you sure that the webserver is configured to run .sh files as shell
scripts and pipe the output of the script back to the http session?

Are you sure that the script is executable by the webserver process?
Execute permissions for relevant users / groups / world?
