Help: Running local shell commands from Javascript

[kensit]

Hi,

I am developing an application with a browser interface. This app is controlling local settings only from within the same machine. The box is having limited processing power and I don¡¯t want to add the overhead of a web server.

Can anyone tell me how can I interface with Linux commands and shell scripts by using Javascript within HTML? What parameters do I have to set on Mozilla to enable this?

Please help! Thanks.

you can not do this using JavaScript.
You will have to resort to some ad ons or other helping software to get this done, such as java.
