shell

A unix bash shell script that prints each command, executes it, waits 1 second, and then moves to the next command.

You can easily change the commands to meet your requirements.

The example below shows how to execute a shell command from within php script.

The command pwd executes the current working directory.

<?php
$output = shell_exec('pwd');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>

• If you require to call a program which resides above the drupal directory the following may be used.

  <?
