I would like to call a command line utility (Oracle’s tnsping) from a web page on a WindowsNT server. This is merely a way to give users a feel for whether the database is up and running and how responsive it is.
Any ideas on how to call a command line function and redirect the response back to a web page? I would prefer server side only code, but can live with some client side. I could probably do a COM module, but was hoping for something simpler.
