Execute commands at the push of a button

Question

I'm looking to learn how to execute terminal commands at the push of a button.
What programming language would be best for learning to do that?

Answer 1

Oh, I see.
So you want to run the batch files from an Intranet site.

Answer 2

Creating a batch file will accomplish this task.

Simply open a new text file, enter the commands you wish to run (each on its own line) and save the file with the extension .bat

Answer 3

well, I wouldn't recommend having a command such as that in a batch file, but the browser shouldn't care/be able to see what is in the batch file.

Anyway, glad I could point you in a(?) direction.

Answer 4

Windows or Linux?

Answer 5

And by push of a button. Do you mean like a key on the keyboard, or icon on the screen?

Answer 6

Windows

Answer 7

icon on the screen

Answer 8

already made the .bat files, to many in to many different folders is the problem, I'm learning HTML and JS in hope of building a site to keep better track of things.

Answer 9

that does look like what I'm after, thanks, also looks like what I'm after may be impossible given they don't want browsers running "format c:"
I'll just have to try it.
