Web servers can be made to act as command servers.

To be a minimal web server CGI, before the callci, you need to:
echo "Content-type: text/plain\n"
> Make sure it's executable (with chmod +x /tmp/doit).
Put the script in a web server CGI directory.

telnet yourmachine.longs.com 80
GET /doit HTTP/1.0
<press RETURN twice>
<doit is executed and the results displayed>
The above telnet example is what a web browser does (simplified) when you type
in the URL:
http://yourmachine.longs.com:80/doit
Plus you'll have all of the security features of the web server available to
control access to the script.
For a more real example, visit this URL:
http://mbloaner.dis.cccd.edu/cgi-bin/showjob
Or:
telnet mbloaner.dis.cccd.edu 80
GET /cgi-bin/showjob HTTP/1.0
<press RETURN twice>
The sh script being executed is:
#!/bin/sh
cat - <<EOF
Content-type: text/html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>:showjob</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>:showjob</H1>
<PRE>
EOF
callci showjob
cat - <<EOF
</PRE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
EOF
You could of course just use text/plain and not generate the HTML wrapping.
