Create a simple web portal/GUI to execute scripts?
Very new to this.....

What I would like to do:

Create a simple GUI/Web portal with 3 buttons and 1 text field

The three buttons need to take the input into the text field and use that as the variable to execute scripts located on a server

Problem:

How can i get the buttons on the page to ssh to the server and kick off the scripts?

I can create the scripts easily enough as they are comprised of simple SQL update statements, but I'm at a loss as to how they would communicate with the portal/gui page (what programming language etc should I be looking into to achieve this?)

Any pointers would help, just really looking for a direction ie this can be achieved by using ______.

Goal:

Instead of having to run these update stmnts from the command line or in workbench etc, the main goal is to have a page I can leave open in the browser at all times and just plug a variable into the text field and select the correct button for what i want it to update.

flow im thinking of click button > ssh to correct server > kick off shell script with the update SQL using the variable provided

Is this possible/efficient? Or is there an easier way?
