Description-en: ejabberd module to execute shell commands via XMPP (dangerous!)
WARNING: USE THIS MODULE AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
This module allows ejabberd administrators to remotely execute shell commands
which could compromise both the ejabberd server and the whole machine.
.
This module provides the ejabberd server administrator a method to remotely
execute shell commands through the ejabberd server.
.
It provides a page in the ejabberd Web Admin which only the administrators of
the whole server can access.
.
Three types of commands are possible:
* ejabberd_ctl: makes a call to ejabberd_ctl;
* erlang shell: executes an erlang command;
* system shell: executes a command on the system shell.
The result of the execution will be shown.
.
In the system shell, only non-interactive commands will work correctly,
for example this will work:
ps -all
Don't use commands that start an interactive mode:
DON'T TRY THIS: top
DON'T TRY THIS: vim readme.txt
.
This module does not check if the commands are dangerous or problematic,
so this module is only recommended for experienced ejabberd and Erlang/OTP
administrators. USE THIS MODULE AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
