Hi,

We're building our own small control panel for customers to manage their VPS from however are trying to do the following:

Basically, we want to allow customers to login to their shell via the main node. So if for example, they locked themself out, they could still get in to fix it.

Anyone know how the best way to do this is?

I'm guessing you have to use vzctl enter however whats to stop someone just using 'logout' to get back to your main node?

Thanks for your time!

Why don't you use ssh access?
Does something like "exec vzctl enter $VEID" suit you?

Hi maratrus,

I really need it to be in a web-based console (i.e a Java console). I can get a java ssh client setup no problem. But its the logging people in via the main node, so they can get in even if ssh is down that I cant do.

Obviously its possible as its done in loads of control panels, however I cant find anything that would allow you to do this :/
