As to run dos commands you can simply write:

Process p = Runtime.getRunt ime().exec("<<c ommand>>");

As to view an html file in IExplorer or Netscape I think you can
just write "filename.h tml" in the exec String parameter because
the System under the VM automatically find the best program to
execute that file extension. So if IE is the "default browser" IE
will be opened; if Netscape do, Netscape will be opened.
Anyway "nomefile.h tml" will be shown!

With regards to opening a document on a Windows platform, it is better to
use the "start" command, and pass the html file as an argument. Like:

Process p = Runtime.getRunt ime().exec("sta rt myfile.html");

Off hand, I'm not sure if you need to pass the whole path to start or not.
You could probably also use the environment variables in the string, like
%SYSTEM_ROOT%, if I remember correctly.

At the end of this message I've pasted a script we're trying to modify slightly. I don't believe it is VBscript or javascript but these are the closest groups I could find with my limited programming knowledge. Basically, we are trying to add a few lines to this script that will execute a few shell commands (see comments at the very end of the code). We think this may be ActionScript2 but aren't sure. If you can offer any help, or know...

I think an optional web page would be convenient interface. The Python program would listen...

Hi all, I've got an application that I'm writing that autogenerates python code which I then execute with exec(). I know that this is not the best way to run things, and I'm not 100% sure as to what I really should do. I've had a look through Programming Python and the Python Cookbook, which have given me ideas, but nothing has gelled yet, so I thought I'd put the question to the community. But first, let me be a little more detailed...

Hi, Probably well worn ground, this, but im stumped and need some help, if you could: I'm trying to write some code for a windows service that needs to run in the background polling a server for commands. Certain commands require the service to interact with the application running on the active desktop, currently just to either shut it down or start it.
