UNIx Bourne Shell script to JavaScript

1 New Member
Hi,

I was given a task to translate a unix bourne shell script that does file renaming and string replacement [on a file name] on a server [i.e. script is executed on the server where the files reside].

I am not too familiar with the capabilites of JavaScript, so I was wondering if this is something that could be done using JavaScript. This is a server side scripting task and JavaScript seems not to be the appropriate language for it. Any thoughts?

Thank you.

If it is server side you will need to use a server side scripting language PHP, ASP, Perl etc..

Hi all, I have a perl program which makes a user exit to the O/S (unix, solaris) to issue a O/S command. I know that the shell it invokes is NOT a korn shell, because I captured the shell info into a file with a 'ps' command. My question is "How to explicitly specify a Korn shell to be used by perl?" Eg of my perl code: ## Begin code snippet..

Hi, I have a question relating to how Unix commands can be issued from Python programs. Im am currently writing a large test script in python and I need this script to call three other separate Python scripts, where each one executes in it own thread of control.
