execute through socket
Hello,

I'm trying to launch a few programs (primarily audacity) from buttons on a flash page. This is all on a local machine, and I am aware of the inherent security risks. From what I've been able to find online, AIR and Flex can launch executables in windows, but not in nix.

I've heard mention that it can be done by building a socket between the swf and your OS, but I can't find any information on how to go about doing so.

Can any of you point me in the right direction to
a) launch programs with flash buttons?
or
b) pass commands to the terminal from flash?
or
c) run a shell from flash?

I'm not opposed to including other things (PHP, js, etc) whatever it takes.

Thanks

p.s. if it makes a difference I'm using ubuntu 10.10 with KDE and XFCE installed.

curs_beep

curs_beep(3CURSES)					     Curses Library Functions						curs_beep(3CURSES)

NAME

       curs_beep, beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash routines

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int beep(void);

       int flash(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  beep() and flash() routines are used to signal the terminal user. The routine beep() sounds the audible alarm on the terminal, if pos-
       sible; if that is not possible, it flashes the screen (visible bell), if that is possible. The routine flash() flashes the screen,  and	if
       that  is not possible, sounds the audible signal. If neither signal is possible, nothing happens. Nearly all terminals have an audible sig-
       nal (bell or beep), but only some can flash the screen.

RETURN VALUES

       These routines always return OK.
