CPU & Memory Run Shell Commands via HTML on a client machine
Hi guys, so, I have a server running an sqlite database which is accessed by many client machines working as hardware testers, whenever something fails and needs to be replaced the operator would have to enter the Serial Number of the part being replaced as well as some other data. and additionally, i would like to store some log files from the tester into this database, extracting this logfiles is not easy as it would involve typing long commands on a terminal by people who know nothing about linux. and i preffer not having them play with commands because it would complicate things.

Is there a way that i can just have some button in the server's webpage that executes a set of commands on the client side to grab these files and put them in a tarball so the operator only has to attach them like an email attachment for the database to store them?

Kind of like this one, but the script would be executed on the client side:

bsmconv

bsmconv(1M)						  System Administration Commands					       bsmconv(1M)

NAME

       bsmconv, bsmunconv - enable or disable Solaris Auditing

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/security/bsmconv [rootdir]...

       /etc/security/bsmunconv [rootdir]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  bsmconv  and  bsmunconv scripts are used to enable or disable the BSM features on a Solaris system. The optional argument rootdir is a
       list of one or more root directories of diskless clients that have already been configured. See smdiskless(1M).

       To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client, a server, or a stand-alone system, logon as super-user to the system being converted and use
       the bsmconv or bsmunconv commands without any options.

       To  enable or disable BSM on a diskless client from that client's server, logon to the server as super-user and use bsmconv, specifying the
       root directory of each diskless client you wish to affect. For example, the command:

	 myhost# bsmconv /export/root/client1 /export/root/client2

       enables BSM on the two machines named client1 and client2. While the command:

	 myhost# bsmconv

       enables BSM only on the machine called myhost. It is no longer necessary to enable BSM on both the server and its diskless clients.

       After running bsmconv the system can be configured by editing the files in /etc/security. Each diskless client has its own copy of configu-
       ration files in its root directory. You might want to edit these files before rebooting each client.

       Following  the  completion  of either script, the affected system(s) should be rebooted to allow the auditing subsystem to come up properly
       initialized.

FILES

       The following files are created by bsmconv:

       /etc/security/device_maps

	   Administrative file defining the mapping of device special files to allocatable device names.

       /etc/security/device_allocate

	   Administrative file defining parameters for device allocation.
