exit 0
Change file permissions to read, execute
chown root:root /etc/cron.weekly/mailreport
chmod 755 /etc/cron.weekly/mailreport

Opening Web-hyperlinked Microsoft Office documents in read-write mode

15/02/2017 by
Read More

Microsoft Office in a webdav or hyperlynked will open as read only. To change the default behavior and open as read-write:

Set OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing DWORD Value on a client machine under the key
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<version>\Common\Internet

Set the Value data to 1.

This does not address the issue of the server service file permissions.

Executing commands from PHP to the operating system

The system() Function

The system function in PHP takes a string argument with the command to execute as well as any arguments you wish passed to that command. This function executes the specified command, and dumps any resulting text to the output stream (either the HTTP output in a web server situation, or the console if you are running PHP as a command line tool). The return of this function is the last line of output from the program, if it emits text output.

The exec() Function

The system function is quite useful and powerful, but one of the biggest problems with it is that all resulting text from the program goes directly to the output stream. There will be situations where you might like to format the resulting text and display it in some different way, or not display it at all.

For this, the exec function in PHP is perfectly adapted. Instead of automatically dumping all text generated by the program being executed to the output stream, it gives you the opportunity to put this text in an array returned in the second parameter to the function:

The shell_exec() Function

Most of the programs we have been executing thus far have been, more or less, real programs1. However, the environment in which Windows and Unix users operate is actually much richer than this. Windows users have the option of using the Windows Command Prompt program, cmd.exe This program is known as a command shell.

The passthru() Function

One fascinating function that PHP provides similar to those we have seen so far is the passthru function. This function, like the others, executes the program you tell it to. However, it then proceeds to immediately send the raw output from this program to the output stream with which PHP is currently working (i.e. either HTTP in a web server scenario, or the shell in a command line version of PHP).

The proc_open() Function and popen() function

proc_open() is similar to popen() but provides a much greater degree of control over the program execution. cmd is the command to be executed by the shell. descriptorspec is an indexed array where the key represents the descriptor number and the value represents how PHP will pass that descriptor to the child process. pipes will be set to an indexed array of file pointers that correspond to PHP’s end of any pipes that are created. The return value is a resource representing the process; you should free it using proc_close() when you are finished with it.
