Executing Remote Program

[shivam0101]

Hello,

I want to develop an application which has the below requirements

several programs will be there in a folder in a linux server. These programs are to be run from any other machines which are connected through network.

The output of the programs should be visible in there machine where i would be executing.

The server will be connected to many systems, multiple people can execute the same program.

The connected systems can be windows or linux. Even if it is not possible in windows at least in linux it should work

Can someone tell me how to go about it...currently i know php.

Thanks

The "Remote Procedure Call" (RPC) mechanism is used, when you have some machines connected over the network which collaborate its work. That mechanism (protocol) is described in RFC or you can always find information using your favorite search engine

Some RFCs you probably should read:

RFC 1050 - RPC: Remote Procedure Call Protocol specification (RFC1050)
RFC 1831 - RPC: Remote Procedure Call Protocol Specification Version 2
RFC 5531 - RPC: Remote Procedure Call Protocol Specification Version 2

Notice that some things from earlier documents may be deprecated.


Of course you should dive into system programming with C or C++. PHP can be used if you will write a web-frontend for this program, but you cannot interact with system well using only PHP.
