Automatically launching iSiloXC

[dserrano]

Hi, I am trying to make some content available using iSiloXC but i would like the process of the conversion to take place without any human interaction. I would like a person to be able to make changes to the source web site using some sort of content administrator and then for iSiloXC to run automatically and perform the conversion automatically placing the pdbs somewhere where they can be downloaded. Is this possible ? Anyone heard of anything like this ?

Thanks for the help,

Daniel Serrano

This is very possible, but it is extremely specific to your setup. In all likelihood, the content administrator would kick off an iSiloXC process with the appropriate .ixl file.

Fairly easy, but there is no one way of going about it.

If you are using php on a windows box, you could use exec(); to launch the command-line iSiloXC to automatically convert. For security reasons however, most web hosts do not let you run exec(); :-(
