Re: Running commands from the browser

Roger Harman skrev:
As part of a help desk app, I'd like to add the ability to ping an IP
printer by selecting that option from the browser. I've searched but
can't find anything that makes sense as to how to do this. Can it be
done and how? These are not necessarily iSeries attached devices.

Generically, how can I invoke a local Windows command from the browser?
You can't directly as that would be a very big security security hole.

You can, however, make a Java applet which requests network access and then have a small ping program in there.
