Executing .exe / .so file on server

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to execute a program on serverside. I'm currently developing a webapp which I would like to execute a program such as an .so file on linux or .exe on w32, through a servlet or class invoked by a client action or even by a trhead that must perform the job every 10m minutes.

I guess that it is possible but that there a couple of prequisites needed.

Does any of you have an idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can execute a .exe process by using the processbuilder and process classes.

I think to execute the process every ten minutes or like that; you have to code it logically.

May be if you give the exact situation it will be helpful to answer.

Hi,Thanks for the reply. The .so file I refer to isn't correct. I meant a program on a Linux platform, not a library.But I will try your suggestion.Regards,Michiel.
