Each command has a description (displayed on the button on the main page),
and an actual command to execute. This command string can contain shell
operators like |, > and ; for executing multiple commands and pipelines.
The string can also contain parameters like <tt>$foo</tt>, which are replaced
by user inputs when the command is run. <p>
These parameters can be entered into the table at the bottom of the page.
For each parameter you must enter :
<dl>
<dt><b>Name</b>
<dd>A unique code for this parameter. If the name is <tt>foo</tt>, then
<tt>$foo</tt> will be replaced by the parameter value when the command
is executed.<p>
<dt><b>Description</b>
<dd>The description next to this parameter on the main page.<p>
<dt><b>Type</b>
<dd>This option controls how the parameter is input. Available options are :
<ul>
<li><b>Text</b><br>
A totally free-text input.
<li><b>User</b><br>
A username from your system.
<li><b>UID</b><br>
The UID of a user from your system.
<li><b>Group</b><br>
A group name from your system.
<li><b>GID</b><br>
The GID of a group from your system.
<li><b>File</b><br>
The full path to a file.
<li><b>Directory</b><br>
The full path to a directory.
<li><b>Option</b><br>
A Yes/No input that will set the parameter to whatever is in
the field next to the type input only if Yes is chosen.
<li><b>Password</b><br>
A totally free-text input, but with the password replaced by *'s.
<li><b>Menu</b><br>
A drop-down menu of options, taken from the filename entered into
the text field to it. Or, instead of a filename you can enter a
command with an | at the end, whose output will be used to determine
the available options.
<li><b>Upload</b><br>
An input box for selecting a file on the client side, which will be
uploaded to the server when the command is run. This will be be
placed in a temporary file, and the path to that file will be the
value of this parameter when the command is run.
<li><b>Textbox</b><br>
A multi-line free text field. When the command is run, any newline
characters in the entered text will be converted into spaces.
</ul><p>
In most cases, the default value for the parameter will be whatever you
enter in the text box next to the parameter type menu.
<dt><b>Quote parameter?</b>
<dd>If Yes, the parameter will be quoted with " before substitution, allowing
the user to enter values containing whitespaces.<p>
