How to stop hide php command

[muratkaragoz]

Hi,
I have installed Windows Sentora from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sentoraforwindows/

As far as I see,  Cron software causes it. When I look at C:\Sentora\bin\cron\cron.tab , I discovered daemon.php and backup.php jobs.

Code:

##################################################################################
# Crontab for Sentora Cron Manager Module                                        #
# Generated by Sentora for Windows 1.0.0                                         #
##################################################################################
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY! USE FOR EDIT THE CONTROL PANEL SENTORA!        #
##################################################################################
# Cron Debug infomation can be found in this file here:-                         #
# C:\Sentora\bin\cron\cron.tab                                                   #
##################################################################################
0 0 * * * php C:/Sentora/panel/bin/backup.php                                    #
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * php C:/Sentora/panel/bin/daemon.php    #
##################################################################################
# DO NOT MANUALLY REMOVE ANY OF THE CRON ENTRIES FROM THIS FILE, USE SENTORA     #
# INSTEAD! THE ABOVE ENTRIES ARE USED FOR SENTORA TASKS, DO NOT REMOVE THEM!     #
##################################################################################

It is controlled by Sentora. So I have checked Sentora database. I discovered them in sentora_core => x_settings => daemon_exer (line 90)

Code:

90 daemon_exer NULL C:/Sentora/panel/bin/daemon.php NULL Path to the Sentora daemon Sentora Config false

In order to hide daemon job,
1. create a "task "folder in C:\Sentora\bin\cron\ and then open task folder.
2. create a "invisible.vbs" file  there.

Code:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False

3. create a "daemon.bat" file  there.

Code:

echo off
C:/Sentora/bin/php/php.exe C:/Sentora/panel/bin/daemon.php
exit 0

4.open C:\Sentora\bin\cron\cron.tab file. Replace 

Code:

php C:/Sentora/panel/bin/daemon.php

  
with 

Code:

wscript "C:\Sentora\bin\cron\task\invisible.vbs" "C:\Sentora\bin\cron\task\daemon.bat"

5. Open phpmyadmin.Open: sentora_core => x_setting =>daemon_exer (line 90). Replace 

Code:

C:/Sentora/panel/bin/daemon.php

  
with

Code:

wscript "C:\Sentora\bin\cron\task\invisible.vbs" "C:\Sentora\bin\cron\task\daemon.bat"

6. Delete "taskinfo.txt" in C:\Sentora\bin\cron\etc\ and restart cron and apache windows services.
Then check Cron logs and "taskinfo.txt" file to see if it works.

Note that you can also change "php C:/Sentora/panel/bin/backup.php" visibility in cron.tab with this method. But I couldn't find it sentora_core database. If it exists at somewhere in the database, it may cause some problems.
