Ok, this was good in theory. But shell seems "dead" with the linux engine we are using.
We can log into the Linux server in Austin from Hawaii via SSH and issue a shell command like this
ls -al ## obvious and simple
But if we run this from inside an xTalk CGI, nothing happens:
on startUp put ("ls -al") into temp get shell(temp) put it into var1 put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr put "Content-Length:" && the length of var1 & cr & cr put var1 end startUp
var1 is empty.
The version we are using is linux metacard engine version 2.4 build 2... but docs indicate shell commands should work find for that version.
Any hope?
This is working on OSX with the latest version of Revolution. Is anyone aware of what the status of shell was with v2.4 b2?

We suspect it is because Revolution is not able to accept an https URL... it return "Invalid URL" a search on the lists doesn't turn up much....
Hope there is a work around and we are missing something simple...
## where we are trying to get the returned web page from verisign
put URL "https://payflowlink.verisign.com/payflowlink.cfm? [snip]
It's in the keyword 'https' -- libURL doesn't support secure http yet, as that requires SSL.
We could use the onboard "curl" shell command but the credit card info is going to end up in the server logs... not ideal.
Thanks!
Not necessarily ; while I was in college I spent time with some 'creative minds' who had come up with the following trick to erase their steps on the Solaris server : make the shell history file for the user read-only for the owner with 'chmid 111' ; this effectively prevents the shell from writing to its history file.
Hope this helped a bit,
