Commands over ssh

[Maestrea 8]

Hi,

Is it possible to execute commands over ssh ? And register the response in the HC2 (virtual device)?

Thanks.

It was, but Fibaro removed the OS.Execute from the box to avoid people gaining root access. Without root access, you won't know the login and therefore can't login via SSH. You could try a brute force attack to guess your way into the box, but it will take a lot of trial and error.

But the short answer is no, no root access and no ssh'ing into the box.

Maestrea,

Unfortunately, root access it's not available for users due to safety concerns.

"Safety concerns" - what, the box will explode if someone ssh into it? Rubish! This is just to avoid having to deal with customers bricking their box and trying to thward anyone from revealing your code or creating a "hacked" version with different functionality. I think you ought to embrace the power of open source and allow customers to enable ssh'ing and modding of your core. It will probably even be a benefit for Fibaro as super users will be able patch bugs for you.

That may be true, but at the same time it may lead to some abuses as HC controls security etc. So it's probably better to resign from that option.

It's an ever-going discussion between open- and closed source...

IMHO there should be a choice. if you want to have access to the Debian system a warning should be presented with the consensuses and warranty issues. Then you can choose what is imported to you.

Other manufacturers made other choices. Like Synology and QNAP (NAS) and Mios Vera for example.

I do have questions about the way Fibaro implemented it, because the embedded system is Debian, which is an Open Source distribution. I don't know how the

legal issues should be explained in this matter. I know that BSD can go from open source to closed source when strict legal regulations are followed.

As far as I'm concerned, I would choose the Open Source option, because I don't use Windows/Apple OS for private devices. I use Linux for several years now and I'm more then very happy with it. Other people may choose different with all the right personal reasons.

That's the beauty of choice...

Hi,

And execute ssh commands to a remote NAS? And register the answer in a virtual device?

Thanks.

I use phpseclib library and a php script for reboot my DD-WRT router by ssh.

This is the code:

Hi rusconidesigner,

do you have implemented this script in the HC2?

[rusconidesigner 4]

Yes,

I had the problem to reboot remotely the router because the DDNS sometimes stopped working. Also with DDNS ko the HC2 is always up.

The only way to reboot it, was ssh.

It's no more difficult. A virtual device that calls the php script. Read the guide of the library and use the script as an example.

Obviously you must have a web server with php installed.
