Thanks for the suggestions.
However, the basic question was, will ND allow the Java code for a Page to
**start a new process**, since that is what exec(..) does. From my
understanding of ND architecture, it is highly unlikely.
It was only later that I learned what the shell script was supposed to do -
send a file by ftp to another site. In that case, there is no need to take
such a round route. A piece of Java code should be able to do that.
Does anybody have a sample code which does that or something similar? That
would help us a lot.
Thanks,
Aby
