I have to execute these shell scripts on many such machines and monitor them, and it is very time-consuming. So i look forward to make a web interface that will control these scripts. According to you: 1. Which is the best language to prepare web interface ? 2. How to make connectivity and authentication (user/passwd) from web interface to remote Unix/linux machine ? 3. How to start shell/perl script and check if it is completed or not ? 4. Is it possible to invoke Remote Desktop through VNC service by the click of a button? I would appreciate if you can provide any answers to these questions. Thanks in advance. Ashutosh
