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:

mountd

mountd(1M)																mountd(1M)

NAME

       mountd, rpc.mountd - server for NFS mount requests and NFS access checks

SYNOPSIS

       n]

DESCRIPTION

       is  an  RPC  server  that answers requests for NFS access information and file system mount requests.  It reads the file to determine which
       file systems are available for mounting by which remote machines.  See sharetab(4).  running on the local server  will  contact	the  first
       time  an  NFS  client tries to access the file system to determine whether the client should get read-write, read-only, or no access.  This
       access can be dependent on the security mode used in the remote procedure call from the client.	See share_nfs(1M).

       The command also provides information as to what file systems are mounted by which clients.  This information  can  be  printed	using  the
       showmount(1M) command.

       The daemon is automatically invoked if and in

       Only superuser can run the daemon.

   Options
       The following options are supported:

	      This is an obsolete option. All messages and errors are logged to

	      Reject mount requests from clients. Clients that have file systems
			  mounted will not be affected.

	      Specify tracing level
			  n, where n can have one of the following values:

			  Errors only (default).
			  Errors, requests handled by mountd, results, and the names of the
				 main functions leading to the result

	      Run the command in verbose mode.	Each time
			  determines  what  access  a  client should get, it will log the result to the as well as the names of the main functions
			  leading to the result.

WARNINGS

       If is running, must also be running in order to be assured that the NFS server can respond to requests.

       Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string comparisons; some do not.  If an incoming request  fails,  verify  that  the
       case of the hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the hostname called for, and attempt the request again.

       If  a client crashes, executing on the server will show that the client still has a file system mounted.  In other words, stale entries may
       accumulate in for clients that crash without sending an unmount request.

       Also, if a client mounts the same remote directory twice, only one entry appears in Doing a of one of these directories removes the  single
       entry and no longer indicates that the remote directory is mounted.
