Hi guys,

I hope this is the right place for this question.

I'm wondering if is possible to build a simple panel where I can start/stop apache and mysql? In other words, how do I interact with those servers?

Thank you!

Apache and MySQL are controlled via the command line, and LiveCode can trigger shell commands with the shell function - so, yep, you can do it.

Thank you. I'm trying to dig on shell functions, but I cannot find a proper documentation. Any suggestions?

For LiveCode, see the "shell" function in the Dictionary. For Apache and MySQL, there's so much out there Google's your best bet.
