Like i need to pass simple ls -ltrh >temp1 on a application server in mount point eg - /onestmp
how do i pass and capture the command.

How you pass the command depends on your programming language - if t's a shell script, you "pass" it exactly as you wrote it. With Perl, you'd use "system".

As you sent the output to a file, you just need to read that file to get the output. That's often the easiest way to do it, especially for something as simple as "ls" that you don't need to interact with. Programming feeding and reading one program from another is more complicated.

Heres another way to do that:

#

Code:

!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-TYPE: text/html\n\n";
print "<ul>";
open(READ,"ls -ltrh|");
while (<READ>) {
 print "<li>$_";
}
print "</ul>";
