 Tools that generate a webpage from common commands like the numerous
unix commands or dos command line must be around but where should I
look?

I'm guessing someone has created a tool that will quickly generate a
web page from the unix `ls' command. Where the user could step into a
directory and say `ls | sometool' and `sometool' would generate a nice
index page with listed elements leading to the various items.

Probably lot of other more sophisticated things.

Can someone point me where I should be looking?

You should be able to google for a Perl (or PHP?) script that takes
input, runs it as a unix command and returns the output. I have seen
them. However, such a script would be a huge security risk. What is it
that you really want to accomplish? There has to be a better way to d
what you want to do.

Its a home lan never exposed to the internet so security is at least
quite a lot lower. I run no outward servers.

Sorry I went to sleep at the switch after posting the quesion and I
see several people have taken time to reply. I do appreciate that.

I can script enough to make something myself... I just stepped into a
directory while sorting out my lan visible pages and thought it would
be a nifty time saver to be able to just say `ls' into something and the
rest would be created.

In this case all the directories have an index.html behind them
already so just getting the directories into a list and addressed is
really all I had in mind... a few words about whats behind there with
the lead one being clicker for gravy ....

I guess I hoped I would be steered toward some nifty tools that would
be more elegant and usefull than my own scripting. I've managed
something now and sort of glad I did but my usage will be very light
after this go-around.

Have you been using Netscape and now feel abandoned by AOL?
Then use SeaMonkey. Go to <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/>.

That is nice... I was thinking of listing out a few directories that
contain index.html files already so they would be a web address.

I've got it working now... Thanks
