We need to administrate a Unix application that runs in our office. This application is a software design tool. We need to know who is using it, time of usage, the name of the project that is being developed, etc.
So to achieve that we think to create a html form in our intranet to be filled any time each user needs to open the application.
The form is verified by javascript. Then is processeb by a typical perl html from script on the server. So the html response is sent to a client and we think that this html can have an Applet embedded that calls to Unix an run the application in the client side.
I would like to know if it is possible to run a Unix command from Java, and in the affirmative case, which java function can call the Unix operative system and run a command to open the application .
I thank you for your help.
