running a server-side program

Classic Servoy
1

I would like to run a server-side program using Servoy. I know that I can use the HTTP plug-in to call a web page that runs the script.

But is there any simpler way?

Thanks,
Rachel

What platform(s) ?
Will you specify the absolute path to the executables ?
Will you provide arguments ?
Does the Servoy process owner have the privilege to execute the programs ?

Excellent questions. It’s Mac OS X and permissions are not a problem.

I was just wondering if there was a Servoy command.

Idea #1 – run an SSH command string with “application.executeProgramInBackground”.
