Best way to run a few commands at once?

Hey everyone,



I have an IRC bot that I am setting up, to start it I have to go into SSH and type something like....


cd location/
NOHUP ./botapp


Now that is not too hard in itself, but it gets tiring after a while to keep logging into SSH to get it going.

Is it possible to get the script jump-started in PHP? And PHP execute these commands?


Now I know PHP may not be the best option, but I just wanted to see if there is a better way to group the commands and possibly execute them at once. Possibly without having to login to SSH. Python script?


Thanks!

Php can run linux commands.

Why not just use a shell or bash script though? You could even set up a cronjob for it so it will run hourly/weekly/etc, or set it to run when you ssh in by adding it to your .bashrc file. Or you can have it set to run when your computer boots...

Go with a shell script :) It's what it's there for ;)
