Remote Shutdown/Reboot of TeraStation III TS-RIXL
« on: May 10, 2012, 02:36:15 AM »

Hi guys!

 

I was messing around with this issue for almost two freakin' days right now. Since my APC is not supported from Buffalo and I didn't want to change the stock firmware I had to find a solution to be able to shut down or reboot our TeraStation remotely over a command-line utility. Actually it's a pity that Buffalo itself is not providing any API or tools for that issue..!

 

However, I finally found a solution. I've just recorded the HTTP transactions when I rebooted the device over the WebGUI and then simulated them with php and java.

 

Here is my PHP solution (requires php5 & curl):

 

  • <?php
            // login-process
            $result = shell_exec('curl -d "bufaction=verifyLogin&user=[user]&password=[pasword]" http://[server]/dynamic.pl');
            $cookie_id = substr($result,44,32);
            echo $result."
    ";

            // shutdown tera-station, if you want to reboot it change the shutdown part with reboot
            $ch = curl_init("http://[server]/dynamic.pl?bufaction=shutRestartLS&action=shutdown&");
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "webui_session_admin=".$cookie_id."_en_0");
            $output = curl_exec($ch);      
            curl_close($ch);
            echo $output."
    ";
    ?>

I have also developed a Jar in Java, with which you can start a task over the command line like that:

  • java -jar TeraStationControl.jar [server] [user] [password] [task]

 

If you want to have the Jar, please write me a private message.

 

Cheers

Goga
