Javascript -> Shell Script
Hi all,
I am trying to call a shell script from a javascript function. This works fine and the shell script returns everything I expected BUT I cannot figure out how to pass command line arguments to this shell script.
Using GET, I assume the url being called needs to be one string with no spaces (hence i cannot do url="myScript.sh arg1 arg2 arg3"
Using POST, I am sending the post variables like this
var args="a=b";
req.open("POST", url, true);
req.send(args);
but do not know how to read those from within my shell script.
Anyone know how to do it? TYVM!

The arguments object is an array containing the strings of all the arguments given at the command line when the shell was invoked.
help() Executing the help function will print usage and help messages.

extension.

plied, it is expected to be one of 100, 110, 120, 130, or 140 to indicate JavaScript version 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4 respec-
tively.
