Invoking Rexx from IBM HTTP Server 1

[r9hesmo]

Hi,

I am trying to invoke a REXX exec from the IBM HTTP Server. Initially I thought I would need to use CGI script to do this. Having asked several people it appears that it's possible to configure the server to tell it that what I am asking it to run is a REXX program. However, no-one seems to know how to do this.

If you know how this can be configured, or anyone who might, can you please respond to richh@uk.ibm.com?

Kind regards,

Richard Hesmondhalgh

For IBM HTTP Server/1.3.12 on Windows 2000:

Add

#!<drive>:/<path>/rexx.exe

as the first line of your Rexx program--BEFORE the /* */.

Might be the same for other platforms, but my experience is only on Win2K.

HTH,
