ASP.NET Web service to query Linux service

[jrwinterburn]

Hi all,

I need to write a asp.net web service (in vb.net, rather than c#) asp.net page, which will run a couple of commands on a red hat server (basically, run the "service httpd status" command) and return the output to the browser window.

Is this possible, and if so, any idea how I go about doing it?

Thanks

Jon

Should be possible with the mono project.

As Christaan sugguested you could use mono, or you could create the asp.net project, which I assume will be running off of IIS then create a separate web service on your apache server. Then let the aspx page make a service call to a service hosted on apache (perhaps written in php). The service on apache will do the processing then return the code to the .net page.
