Re: simple module example?

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

This is exceedingly easy to do:

Follow the instructions in the Writing Webmin Modules documentation on 
the Webmin site (i.e. set up the directory with an icon, module.info, etc.).

Then create an index.cgi file that either calls your command, or 
performs the actions you want performed (if more than one command).  You 
can use perl's system() function or backticks to execute system commands.

I'm not sure what else to tell you, short of writing it for you.  It is 
a three hour job, even if you don't know perl and have never written a 
module for Webmin before (it's a 15 minute job if you know perl and have 
written modules before).
