I'm planning to develop an application that automatically download a BASH script and execute him to do a lot of things, like fix problems, install new programs, start an assistant, etc... All directly from the user browser (specifically Firefox, because the scripts are aimed for GNU/Linux systems). Now the question: the Gears Firefox Extension API allow the JS script run a binary on the client system, like start the BASH with parameter as the script previously downloaded? And if it do so, how?
Thanks by all. Bernardo Donadio
