Plugin Request Execute command from external python script

Plugin Category: Admin Tool

What I'd like:

Excuse me while I clumsily try to explain this. I'd like a plugin that can accept information from a python script and execute that information as a command. This of course could be expanded to include any scripting language, but I specifically need a an intuitive and configurable example function to pass my command off with. It would work similarly to votifier in that it just kind of sits in the background, it works remotely, and it is extremely secure.

 

@timtower Hey, thanks for the reply. I understand what mysql is and I have basic understanding of sockets, I guess I'm just not sure what you're suggesting. I suppose predefined commands are fine, but they need to be able to take an argument from the python script. Again, thanks.

 

@timtower It seems that that's something I can do, but I'll need to do some further research into mysql

@timtower I can say confidently that I can insert, delete, and update information in a mysql database via python

@timtower Righto, whenever I modify the password in the config and reboot the server, the connection fails and the password is replaced with .inf

 

@timtower I don't believe so, no

 

@timtower yeah, I don't really understand what's going on. I upload a file of 214 kb, boot up the server, and the file is now 210 kb. Sure enough the password I had is replaced with .inf

 

@timtower Do you have any suggestions? I created another server with no other plugins and am still having the same error

 

@timtower http://pastebin.com/9XW9TSAG no other plugins installed, server was fully stopped, uploaded and then redownloaded file to make sure it contained password. The file now contains .inf

 

@timtower Aside from the .inf, is everything formatted correctly?

 

@timtower really, seems like a miscalculation by my server host then? That seems odd considering 3306 is a default port and it's hosted on the same ip as my server. I did change the database and username though.

 

@timtower I was wrong, they aren't the same
