Web-based access to init.d

webinitd

Allows you to run init.d actions from a nifty web interface. Set up the allowed services like so:

SERVICES= {
	'apache2': {                        # the name of the /etc/init.d/ file
		'title': 'Apache Web Server',   # the name you want displayed
		'ops': ['status', 'stop','start','graceful'],  # allowed commands
		'status': 'status'              # The "default" command to show on the main listing
	},

For priv elevation, set USE_SUDO=True, and don't forget to update your sudoers file accordingly. E.g.

youruser ALL=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/apache2
youruser ALL=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/mysqld
... etc.

Next get your authentication in order. Run the app like this:

./webinitd.py --password=my_password

That'll spit out a password hash that you put into your auth dict that looks like this:

LOGINS = {
	'admin': 'sha256:10240:FcbYJZ4Z:ZDHbf8Gx/GDXVD3W33xjqnEuf3TWv41rGrSig8fM7d4=',
}

Finally, run webinitd.py and hit it with your browser with the optional -h and -p parameters to specify a host and port.
