Welcome to REX, the
Remote
Execution Framework for PHP
REX is simple proof-of-concept implementation allowing the retrieval and execution of remotely held PHP code from a local filebase or over HTTP.
In theory this could be used for a variety of purposes including:
- Remote Server Management
As an alternative to RSH or an SSH-based script to execute remote commands on a server
- Central Code Storage
Using a single central code store for common functions, a single update will run on all remote clients
As stated REX is purely a proof-of-concept but it does come with some documentation. The software itself and all examples are licenced under the GNU GPL v3.
More information and examples of how it could be used are contained in the
documentation.
Some simple REX code examples are
provided here.
