I'd like to run a shell command on the server side when a client triggers an event. Is it possible with javascript?

    You need to connect to the server, so javascript alone cannot do it. Commented Sep 6, 2013 at 12:03
  • maybe nodejs? nodejs is JS :) Commented Sep 6, 2013 at 12:05

I don't believe this is possible with client-side JavaScript.

Althought it's not really your question, you could do it if you were using NodeJS server-side (http://nodejs.org/api/all.html#all_child_process_exec_command_options_callback).
