[Tutor] Need suggestion / advice - controlling remote server

[dave selby]

Hi all,

I am after some advice / suggestions. I have written web interface for
viewing CCTV images http://code.google.com/p/kmotion/wiki/ScreenShots
its called 'kmotion'. Underneath its all Python daemons. It usually
runs stand alone on headless servers. Now I am about to write a KDE
interface in Python & QT4 for config & local viewing.

The question is how to communicate with the remote kmotion servers
Python daemons. I could access the images via port 80, no prob but I
need the KDE interface to change configs etc and restart services. I
am thinking of getting the KDE interface to ssh in and do the changes
via shell commands, ie change config files, restarts deamons etc,
should work OK. Is this acceptable ? How would you guys do it ?

Thanks in advance

Dave
