How can I launch a system command via Javascript in Google Chrome?
- by kvsn
I want to execute a local program on my computer via Javascript in Chrome. In Firefox, it can be done as follows (after setting 'signed.applets.codebase_principal_support' to true in about:config):
function run_cmd(cmd, args) {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"]
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
file.initWithPath(cmd);
var process = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/util;1"]
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);
process.init(file);
process.run(false, args, args.length);
}
What's the equivalent code for Chrome?
