We use one we call "shellout". It merely allows you to execute a shell command. The security is that the program has to be in /usr/local/sbin (which we'll assume is root controlled).
Usage: (:shellout cmd=mycustomcommand parms="arguments to pass":) Markup('shellout','fulltext', "/\\(:shellout[ ]*(.*?):\\)/e", "shellout('$1')"); function shellout($opts) { $args = ParseArgs($opts); $shelloutcmd="GET='".implode(",",$_GET)."' POST='".implode(",",$_POST)."' /usr/local/sbin/" . basename($args['cmd']) . " " . $args['parms']; $shelloutoutput = shell_exec($shelloutcmd); return $shelloutoutput; } Peter & Melodye Bowers wrote: > I've just put a very-alpha recipe out there called WikiSh.
