I'm wondering if this is possible.
I have a program running on (lets say) computer1 with a process called woopie.exe and its connected through port 1234
My other computer is called computer2 and it runs my apache2.2 server along with php 5.x
Also my router is running DD-WRT v24 SP1
so im usually not home and im wondering if it is possible to create a php site that will enable to pop on any computer in the world and go to a specific php page that i created and hosted off my server at home that will check if on computer1 woopie.exe is either running or streaming data through that port and if it is if theres a way to either shut it off or cut the connection by running a script on my router?
is this possible?

Re: shutting stuff off through php
It is possible, yes.
The computer running LAMP and your PHP web site would need to be accessible to the outside world, so your router would obviously need to have port 80 opened up, so make sure you button down the hatches, considering what you want to do.
Anyway, the other computers would need SSH servers running, so the PHP script would simply connect to the server computers, execute PS command and KILL and voila, it's that easy.

Re: shutting stuff off through php
ok so i would install an SSH server on computer1 and just run a kill command on the PHP?
