predator12341 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi all, I am not sure if this is the correct place to post but it seemed right. Anyway what I want to do is create a script on my computer that will run various tasks, such as opening outlook etc. I want to do this through a web portal so i can log into my web portal and click a button to open outlook. My question is how. am i correct in assuming that I would use a perl script or something to that nature to enable communcation between the web app and local script? Any help much apprechiated.

jonsjava Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 actually, that's quite funny. Today, I started working on something that would do just that. What I've used for assistance is this site. You need to register a url protocol for each application so you can just tell it "<a href=outlook:contacts>open outlook contacts</a>" and it will open outlook contacts.

predator12341 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hey, thanks for the reply. I dont think this is what i am after, as i just tested it and it never seemed to work. I want to be able to open programs from another computer (through a web interface) on my main computer, does this do this and am I just miss understanding it or does this not do it.
