execute shell script using CGI for html site
hi there
im currently in the process of creating a website for use basically within our org. im using a os x machine and installed MAMP - which includes Apache, mysql... the site will be used by techs to primarily install pkgs files onto os x devices. i would like to have buttons or hyperlinks (doesnt matter) that when the tech selects the object (e.g. a pkg file - adobe reader)... a sh script is executed that will basically install the app onto the os x device. i have placed a test shell script in the cgi-bin folder and changed ownership so its executable (chmod +x scriptname).
the test script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
echo "content-type: text/html"
""
mkdir /users/test/thisisatestfolder

in the html page - i dont know how i would "call it" , e.g. form etc...
i dont even know if the script is set-up right as well
any help would be great
thanks!

VERSION

DESCRIPTION

       This document serves to answer the most frequently asked questions about Apache::AuthCookie.

   How can I protect an entire site (/) with Apache::AuthCookie?
       You have to give an Apache "require" directive that applies to all requests for except for your login handler.  The easiest way to do this
       is to override the auth handlers for your login script. For example, if your login handler is "/LOGIN", then you need to use something like
       the following:

	<Location />
	  AuthType My::AuthCookieHandler
	  AuthName Whatever
	  PerlAuthenHandler My::AuthCookieHandler->authenticate
	  PerlAuthzHandler My::AuthCookieHandler->authorize
	  require valid-user
	</Location>

	<Location /LOGIN>
	  PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::Const::OK
	  PerlAuthzHandler Apache2::Const::OK
	</Location>
	...
