Running shell scripts from web browser

corleone · #1 (**permalink**) 07-28-2006

I am in need of a mechanism to run shell scripts from web browser. Could any one of you guide me as to which technology to choose? I have some scripts which take some arguments. Appreciate you response.

The Apache can handle this task.

You can make a form and just like any other cgi script, put the script in your web server's cgi bin and point the form to it.
Something like:

Code:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://mywebserver.com/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi">
<P><FONT COLOR="#ddd20f" FACE="Trebuchet MS"><B>Enter data to pass to script below </B></FONT><BR>
<INPUT NAME="NAME" TYPE="text" SIZE="25" VALUE="enter your data here"><BR>
</FONT</P>
<P>
<center><INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Send">
</center>
</p>
</FORM>

This is actually part of a working form that I use at work, just changed the names of the webserver and the script. While the script ends in .cgi, myscript.cgi is actually a korn shell script. This form passes the variable NAME to the script

Hi All,
Daily I used to do some daily check on UNIX server.

I want this task to be done thru a browser.

For example:
if i open a browser i must get a screen like below...... style which must have options as follows:

UNIX Daily Check Page

commands:
bdf
ps -ef grep $someprocess
top

if user clicks the button he should get the result of the command and it must be stored in temorary buffer and final.................

a report button must be there by clicking he must be able to generate the whole output result into a single xls file..... and this has to be sent to some mailbox....................

can this be done using simple html code????

please advice................

Shock,
We have ksh scripts here and we get csv files as an out put. Is there a way to display all the csv files? Is there any tutorial (on CGI) on how to set this up? Appreciate your response.
