Question: Trigger Cumulus functions from PHP/Terminal

[Frank Wayong]

Hi,

Is it possible to trigger some functions from the webserver on the same Ubuntu server?

Scenario: An admin will trigger an event which will start the event on all mobile devices who are online at that moment?

=================================================

function startTheEvent()

         for key, cur_client in cumulus.clients:pairs() do

                  cur_client.writer.writeAMFMessage("game_event_A","start")

        end

end

=================================================

Would it be possible that via php (or even ubuntu command line) the cumulus function gets fired?

something like:

<?php

    shell_exec('./CumulusServer >> startTheEvent');

?>

Hi,

Not by this way, sorry, communication inter-process by standard input and output is not crossplatform especially since that Cumulus can be started like a daemon or Windows service.

Use socket feature rather: https://github.com/OpenRTMFP/Cumulus/wiki/Server-Application,-Sockets

On webserver side (PHP code), open a TCP client for example, and on Cumulus script side a TCP server like that:

    server = cumulus:createTCPServer()
    function server:clientHandler(client)
        function client:onReception(data)
            NOTE("Reception from "..self.peerAddress.." to "..self.address)
            self:send(data) -- echo sample
            return 0 -- return rest (all has been consumed here)
        end
        function client:onDisconnection()
            NOTE("TCP client disconnection")
        end
    end
    server:start(1234); -- start the server on the port 1234

Or the opposite :-)

Hi and big thanks for the info!

This solves some issues for me :)

I already had a feeling that a socket was for that purpose. Now you've shown me how! I am gratefull for you giving me this insight!
