Allow clients to specify commnd

Allow clients to specify commnd

You could also just run
gotty -w bash --login
of course :-)

Even more dangerous :-O

But I can see the point of having the convenience of specifying the command in the URL.

I think passing multiple commands via the command line would be too much. I would like to see a simple config file, perhaps similar to Foremans Procfile format:

tailaa: tail -f /var/log/apache/access.log
tailae: tail -f /var/log/apache/error.log

And now just the two commands can be executed by accessing /tailaa and /tailae.

@niko's idea is solid, though that could be just another feature if you're dead set on allowing a full command to be specified, as well.

I found myself this idea interesting enough. So I've written and am about to release a PHP wrapper to GoTTY that allows for this kind of things and more. I'll keep Yudai posted as well as this issue thread.

Out of interest, here is TermGate, a GoTTY wrapper in PHP, which might suit your needs: https://github.com/Arno0x/TermGate

Awesome 👍
Now I feel like I should keep gotty itself as simple as possible. Other tools like @Arno0x 's one can solve the demand.

Good on ya, @Arno0x !

Hi, I accidentaly created a duplicated issue about this (#53) although I've suggested delivering client information in addition to program arguments:

It would be nice if it's possible to deliver parameters or information about the client to the command to be executed when client connects to gotty.

Example1:
gotty /opt/cmd
http://hostname:8080/?arg1=foo&arg2=bar => gotty will execute /opt/cmd arg1=foo arg2=bar

In terms of security reasons it would be reasonable if it's possible to limit what arguments should be delivered and what data could be into them (only digits / only A-Z)?

Example2:
gotty /opt/cmd %CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS%
192.168.1.10 connects to http://hostname:8080/ => gotty will execute /opt/cmd 192.168.1.10
