That's interesting as I would have thought (and hoped) that you would at least have to figure out a way to change to a privileged user id before you could start issuing system commands. Don't servlets run as user Nobody just like cgi? > So you could have a servlet handled by OneShot that starts up the >persistent application server. There's another issue tho- most virtual hosts use procwatch (or something like it) to kill off long running processes that aren't authorized. If python isn't on the list, the app server will go down in about 20 seconds. In any case, I can't see trying to do anything serious with webware or much else for that matter if you don't have shell access. It's aggravating enough to not have root privileges.
