Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Printing to a web page Post 302335227 by cjcox on Friday 17th of July 2009 05:17:37 PM

In general your script would echo html. Could be whole page of html or something designed to be embedded without html content. You can use a cgi-bin to invoke the program which outputs the html for display (for example).

If it's just static generation, you could simply direct output to an html file that can be seen by the web server.

But in general, in both cases, you would output HTML format from the script.

Beyond this, you'd need to give more info about the web server you're running, modules installed, etc. For example, perhaps you have the php module installed into your web server... well, it's pretty easy to make a callout to a shell program from php... you could use that for dynamic presentation of the script's output. And as I mentioned, there's always cgi-bin as well. You might want to invest time and/or money in reading up on building web sites... Just an idea...

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.

KEYWORDS

       operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
