RE: [cobalt-users] Executing a file in /bin via web page

["Neil J. Kemp" <neil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Little addennum to that. Your web pages would probably need to end in .shtml
instead of .html to allow SSI (Server Side Includes) to run - Enable in
siteadmin or if you've hacked the Apache config already you won't need to.

There's a really easy way...

1) make sure the permissions are set on the script or app to be executable
2) inlude a line like this in your html code  <!--#exec
cmd="your_scripts_path" -->

That's it!!
