Hi mixo, ...snip...
I already have cgi scripts (shell scripts) that perform certain functions which are sitting on some remote machine (which is not running Zope). I want to be able to use them, and avoid rewriting them in Python (at least for now). What I am looking for is something like <!--#exec cgi="somescript--> which executes a cgi script.
<dtml-call somescriptmethod> In Extensions folder make python program like this: import os def somescriptmethod: return os.system('path/to/your/script') Include this as external Method from management interface. Note: it is absolutely no good Idea (especially If you are new to python) to make the program name a parameter. HTH Tino Wildenhain
