PROcess CONtrol 1.0
ProCon is a simple cgi that gives you web-based control of the processes
(applications) running on your server. When accessed through a web browser, it
lists the processes currently running on the server, and offers three ways to
control those processes:
1) Quit. Choosing this option sends the "quit" Apple Event. The
application must understand the "required" Apple Event suite in order to
respond.
2) Front. This option brings the application to the front. This option is
disabled for the current frontmost application.
3) Hide. Clicking on the Hide button causes the application to hide, as if
the "Hide <application>" command had been selected from the application
menu. This option is disabled for hidden applications.
Note that the Finder doesn't report itself as a process, so it cannot be
manipulated using the above controls.
Two other options are available that are not application-specific:
1) Refresh. This simply refreshes the display of current processes.
2) Restart the Server. This does exactly what it says - sends the restart
message to the Finder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
Place the application (procon.acgi) somewhere in your webserver heierarchy.
Depending on your server preferences, you may need to place it under the
cgi-bin folder.
A password-protection, such as a WebSTAR realm, is recommended.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Server Requirements:
1) The scriptable Finder, which is included in System 7.5 and later, and is
available for some earlier systems.
2) Parse CGI OSAX, shareware which is available at
<http://marquis.tiac.net/software/parse-cgi.html>. This must be
installed in the Scripting Additions folder (in the Extensions folder).
3) WebSTAR, Quid Pro Quo, or other webserver that follows the WebSTAR cgi
standard.
Browser Requirements:
The browser used must support tables. Browsers that will work are:
1) Netscape Navigator, version 1.1 or later.
2) Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 2.0 or later.
3) NCSA Mosaic, version 2.0 or later.
