I am trying to start a daemon on a server with Ajax PHP and JQuery. The following code executes without any errors an opens all the html files in separate browser windows like it's supposed to. I receive the alert message . However, the daemon never starts. Can anyone see what is wrong with the code?
Server side php file:
filename: executedp.php
<?php
$startDaemon = exec('sh ~/.devilspie/ruleset.sh $x; done');
?>Client side JQuery Code:
if(found) {
//call to start daemon
var xhr = $.ajax({
url: 'executedp.php',
success: alert("It has begun!")
});
switch($.tableCount) {
case ($.tableCount = 1):
window.open('table1.html');
xhr;
break;
case ($.tableCount = 2):
window.open('table1.html');
window.open('table2.html');
xhr;
break;
case ($.tableCount = 3):
window.open('table1.html');
window.open('table2.html');
window.open('table3.html');
xhr;
break;
case ($.tableCount = 4):
window.open('table1.html');
window.open('table2.html');
window.open('table3.html');
window.open('table4.html');
xhr;
break;
}
}I have researched for hours and to high heaven for a resolution. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
