DESCRIPTION
Pcom is a PHP-driven webtelnet, that is a web interface to execute shell commands/external programs on a server. Obviously there are limitations, derived mainly by security limitations on the webserver (ie safe_mode in php). There is also a limitation on the program function itself, because you can only use non-interactive commands: you can launch a command or a program that doesn't need user interaction, but you cannot use something like lynx or irc (you can onlylaunch an interactive application in background, driving it automatically by arguments and/or scripts -where possible-). Remember that you can only launch a command, you don't drive a real shell. So, if you launch a ping it will go forever because you cannot take back the control on the stdin, while launching a traceroute you should get back control and output of the command because it terminates itself without user interaction.

INSTALLATION:
Unpack the archive, copy pcom.jpg and pcom.php3 files in your webserver and enjoy. Tested only on Apache and PHP (as module), without any limitation (bad idea :P) in configuration, such as safe_mode and all the other security stuff.

DISCLAIMER
I know this software is potentially dangerous, but YOU (have to) know that PHP can limit things like this easily. Use it at your own risk.
