如何通过命令行防止在Win或Unix上运行程序

Question

After a long research here on Stackoverflow and on net I didn't found nothing talking about it. As the title say, how can I do that?

For example: I am owner of a hosted website that allow me to manage the database via PhpMyAdmin. When I try to connect to my database via prompt, the connection never go fine. It could be because of OS settings (right?).

How can I do that (in both OSs).

Thanks in advance.

If I understand your question correctly:

You have a website with a MySql database hosted on your providers servers.

When you try to use your local PC installation of MySql from a command prompt, it will not let you connect.

I use dreamhost.com and have a similar setup. If I want to use database tools from my local PC to connect to the database, I have to enter my IP address in the db configuration page under "allowed hosts".

Restricting remote database connections to specific IP addresses protects your database from random hacking attempts.

As for your question about restricting command line execution of a program, that is usually just caused by missing configuration information in the environment variables - leaving the path to the executable out of the PATH variable is a common one. You would still be able to run the program if you enter the full path to it.

It really depends on the error message you get when trying to run the program from the command line.
