Accessing a UNIX command from JavaScript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 13.2003

I have an web help project for which I am looking to print. I cannot use the normal means because the application is located on a server that has no direct access to the user’s printers. However, it is displayed using Citrix.

We can now use a command:

ctxlpr

to access the user’s local printer through the citrix client. The command is located on the same server as the web help.

Question, how do I access this UNIX function through JavaScript? I have an existing button, I just need the JavaScript as the backend to make it work.

Thanks!!
Troy

Thanks!!
