You should be able to google for a Perl (or PHP?) script that takes
input, runs it as a unix command and returns the output. I have seen
them. However, such a script would be a huge security risk. What is it
that you really want to accomplish? There has to be a better way to d
what you want to do.
Its a home lan never exposed to the internet so security is at least
quite a lot lower. I run no outward servers.
Sorry I went to sleep at the switch after posting the quesion and I
see several people have taken time to reply. I do appreciate that.
I can script enough to make something myself... I just stepped into a
directory while sorting out my lan visible pages and thought it would
be a nifty time saver to be able to just say `ls' into something and the
rest would be created.
In this case all the directories have an index.html behind them
already so just getting the directories into a list and addressed is
really all I had in mind... a few words about whats behind there with
the lead one being clicker for gravy ....
I guess I hoped I would be steered toward some nifty tools that would
be more elegant and usefull than my own scripting. I've managed
something now and sort of glad I did but my usage will be very light
after this go-around.
