Communication between webserver and MM

[broberg]

I’m no where near a coder so disregard this If I don’t get it, but after some fast reading of your blog post, it sounds like you should be able to use the code from [card:paviro/MMM-syslog]

to take commands from HTTP, the syslog module takes information from a string like this : http://MIRROR_IP:MIRROR_PORT/syslog?type=INFO&message=YOUR_MESSAGE

@broberg

thank you very much for pointing this out to me. Looking at the code that might indeed be a viable alternative.
I’m going to check it out, and post an article to my blog with my findings.

Hi there,
I’ve been playing around, and changed the solution to the MMM-syslog alternative.
Check it out in my blogpost:

Thanks again for the pointer!

Indeed, that’s what I realized after browsing through the syslog code. Kudo’s!
