Hi All,
Is there any way to run Bash shell scripts from a browser passed through
Apache.
This is exactly like executing a perl script through mod_perl module.

E.g.
http://myhost/dir1/myscript.sh

If we hit the link,the script should be executed and I have written the
script in a way that it outputs a HTML page, that should be displayed in the
browser.

You're exposing yourself to a ton of rootkits

What is stopping you from doing what you need to do with perl or php?
