Getting Started
with WebSpeed


OS Command

The OS Command WebTool allows you to enter operating system commands. Commands execute in the operating system context of the machine where the WebSpeed Development Server is running. Command output is displayed below the command entry field.

NOTE: WebSpeed does not maintain context from one command to the next. Therefore, some commands (like changing your working directory, for example) do not execute. You get an error message stating that the command generated no output.

The OS Command WebTool allows you to run single-line command scripts. You can create these scripts in any text editor, but the file can only have one line (no carriage returns). Save them in install_dir/src/web/scripts with a .os file name extension. After you create .os files in that directory, their names appear in the OS Command WebTool frame. After you select a script and choose the Load Script button, the script’s contents appear in the command entry field. Choose the Submit button to execute.
