hi, i have a series of perl forms which collect data from a user and then run's a program. once the program is finished i would like to run a open the command line and run pro/engineer on the client's machine. i have done this using visual basic script but i have used javascript for other constraints on my forms so i thought i would try to stick with that. so i guess my question is what is the javascript equivalent of the wshShell command in vbs. and how can i have javascript run pro/e AFTER my first program is complete.<br />
<br />
any help will be greatly appreciated!<br />
<br />
thanks all!

using javascript to run command line commands

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
