Hello,

I don't understand what WebCrawler has to do with initiating a command on a server. (WebCrawler is a search engine... and "web crawler" is a type of software that collects information from the Internet... so I guess I don't know what you're referring to!)

Obviously there are about a million ways to run a command. The most obvious are:

1) RUNRMTCMD/rexec
2) STRPCCMD (requires an emulation window)
3) ssh (depending on if the server supports it)
4) web services

Of those, the first two aren't especially secure, and aren't easy for programs to interact with.

The last two are much more secure, but also more complex to set up and administer.

I tried webcrawler some time ago but that was clugy and was quickly
dropped. Any help appreciated.
