I have created an App for google chrome which just opens a web page. I am new in the topic
of Apps. I was thinking if it is possible to execute some linux command by using an App
in google chrome. For instance, an App which can open a terminal or open a program
installed in my machine like Gimp, Kate, Libre Office …

From the instructions in the web page of google I saw that the only actions for an App
are limited to open a web address but I dont know if it is possible to extend the capabilities
of the Apps,

Regards.

    Aren’t apps sandboxed into the Google Chrome Process to ensure they can’t affect other processes and for other security reasons. If so, you won’t be able to execute programs/commands or view the User’s Files unless you use some workaround such as Google’s Native Client.

    Google has locked down capabilities to stop malicious Web Apps from executing code and bringing malware and exploits.
