Execute shell script when page is loading

Hi all,

I'm wondering if is possible to run a script when a specific page is loading in Domoticz, for example I have a server which is running Domoticz and a custom page, so when any user hit the page, then I want to execute a shell script to do something (in my case I want to send some data to a client using netcat).

Thanks.

I have just found a workaround:
1. Go and create a simple switch and add the shell script for On action (or Off action as you wish).
2. Create a custom page in www/templates/ and give it a name like mypage.html
3. Add the following code into mypage.html:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Test</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <script type="text/javascript">
        window.onload = SwitchLight(10,'On',RefreshFavorites,false);
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>

    </body>
</html>

Tips:

this is working when you switch from another page to this, just keep refreshing the page doesn't work

change the SwitchLight parameters to meet your configuration, the first parameters must be the device ID (in this case the dummy switch), and the second is the switch's event on which the script is executed: in our case this is On, but it could be Off as well

Hopes this will be useful for you!
