Thank you greelgorke, your suggestion will really help for me to keep up with my projects. I have multiple Perl and Shell scripts which does high volume of taks, --- Interaction with remote machine to trigger various process and move the files around. --- Interact with subversion repository to verify and commit files. --- Lauch java ant build process and carry out build validation and other taks. --- and other system level process.
I did tried to create web interface using PHP to interact with Perl and Shell but whole webpage to servers request sending and receiving turn out to be really slow. Definitely rewriting from scratch is really time consuming but I desperately want to give web interface to my process. As I am new to node so looking forward for suggestion, guidance and views from experience people.
