Hi, there is no advantage to a web interface, which is quite insecure if you follow the news. What about the problem of cancelling a running program quickly? I wouldn't run any important program over a web interface. Why should your precious data output be filtered thru an apache module, or a browser filter?

A console or even a Tk app can be run remotely via ssh with -X enabled. You have full control that way.

<2 cents> Why not use a browser? Its not worth the bloat and risk. Just my opinion. P.S. If you do run it thru a browser be sure to use alot of javascript, so your browser can make umpteen network connections while you run your program. :-) Browsers are insecure, period. The various agencies have their backdoors in every browser. </2 cents>
