Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and methods of remotely managing a managed machine over a communication network. One example method of operation may include identifying the managed machine operating in a communication network and transmitting a connection establishment message to the managed machine over the communication network. In response, an acceptance message may be received from the manage machine. Once a secure channel has been established, the administrator may begin transmitting a command prompt command over the communication network to be executed on the managed machine. The management operations may be performed from a browser-based application.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- transmitting a connection establishment message to a managed machine over a communication network via an administrator plug-in application initiating the connection establishment message to a server process of the managed machine;
- responsive to receiving the connection establishment message, creating, by the server process, a corresponding command prompt child process that is dedicated to receiving at least one command prompt command;
- and
- transmitting the at least one command prompt command over the communication network to be executed on the managed machine to the server process that is currently operating on the managed machine.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit a connection establishment message to a managed machine over a communication network via an administrator plug-in application that initiates the connection establishment message to a server process of the managed machine;
- responsive to the connection establishment message being received, the server process creates a corresponding command prompt child process that is dedicated to receive at least one command prompt command;
- wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the at least one command prompt command over the communication network to be executed on the managed machine to the server process that currently operates on the managed machine.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- transmitting a connection establishment message to a managed machine over a communication network, via an administrator plug-in application initiating the connection establishment message to a server process of the managed machine;
- responsive to receiving the connection establishment message, creating, by the server process, a corresponding command prompt child process that is dedicated to receiving at least one command prompt command;
- and
- transmitting the at least one command prompt command over the communication network to be executed on the managed machine to the server process that is currently operating on the managed machine.
