unrestricted python code is needed (external method, or product). if you don't care about the response from the shell script then using os.system will do the trick.. please validate your input from the web before passing to something like this... import os script_command = 'mkdir /root/path/%s' def execute_my_script(arg): os.system(script_command%arg) if you need to process output try one of the popen modules (see docs on python.org). ZCVS has a nice abstraction over this in its ShellCommandProcessor; hth -k --- "Tran, Mike" <mtran@shufflemaster.com> wrote:
Hi All,
How do i create a method that will excute a shell script when called? I just wanted to run a local shell script when a user clicks on a button.
Appreciate any suggestion,
Mike
