I have a bash script (supports linux/unix), that installs an application.
Instead of executing the script in the terminal, I want to deploy it as a web application.

I want to make a web graphical interface for this script, so that the user can give the necessary inputs in the web forms and when ready,then pass these variables into the bash script to be executed.

This script obvious needs root privileges.

I plan to make it with with tomcat 7 / servlet / jsp. I want to deploy it as .war file.

First, can this be done? Is it possible?

Second, is there any example? I didn’t find anything.

Third, any alternative method/better idea?

    I’d try tomcat’s own CGI support.
