Run a batch file on the server? (2 Viewers)

[TommySharp]

Hey Cheezy!

Would it be feasible to add a feature to iPimp whereby we can run a batch file on the iPimp web server machine or client using the web interface?

No one got any ideas on how this might be possible? Maybe not even using iPimp?

I just need a way to run a batch file on my TVServer from my iPhone.

Possible uses...
- Stop and restart the tvserver service remotely
- etc etc

Regards,

The difficulty is the context in which iPiMP runs, it runs as a windows service with no access to the current logged on users console session which you'd need to run a batch file. The one example you quoted above is already available in iPiMP (TV Server Status -> TV Service Status, then use the Stop & Start buttons). If you've other specific suggestions then I can look at adding them.

Hey Cheezy, thanks for the reply.... The main thing I'm trying to do is run a batch file on my server that stops my wifi security cameras from recording and then another batch file to start them up again. The software that I use for managing the cameras doesn't have any form of nice iPhone interface.

I suppose a good mp use might be to manual kick off a batch file that downloads tv guide info? This is something all us new zealanders have to use...
