I have a little tool I've been building that
allows people to run command line processes
from the browser(well ie and mozilla so far,
also have it working in DENG), if the
process is listed in an xml file as allowed
and if the browser passes the right password
obviously (probably too involved to go into
the whole thing). Anyway when the process is
done executing I thought it would be nice if
it had some output that listed what it had
done, I figure what I want to do is to save
this information in xml and return it to the
calling browser etc. when requested.
The thing is that this seems like rather a
big thing, that the xml if generic enough
would be hideously complex and probably
uninformative as well. However if the format
was dependent on whatever process was run it
would be pretty diffult to set up any
framework for handling these process
responses. I figure then the format should
have a documentation aspect, that just
passes back info for a user to read about
what was done, and a more stringent form for
passing back computable information.
it's the more stringent form I'm interested
in. I was thinking on the one hand that
there is a relation to wmi (since this is a
windows project) i.e listing a record of
what wmi objects were effected by an
operation.
Does anyone know of any formats out there
that are similar to this, projects were
people have tried to handle the same
problems?
Sorry if this is unclear but right now I'm
dealing with a part of the application where
I'm not 100% sure what is needed, but I have
a suspicion/feeling that something extra
would be nice.
