If I'm understanding your question correctly, you can't run shell commands on the client via the browser. — Qantas 94 Heavy

You can't, because that would be a big security issue.

If you need this to be done you can either ask your client to run it, or let them download a file that will do it for them. Other options are ActiveX/Java applet and so on...

Ok, how can i run on server side?

This is where you need to be more precise about "run system command". Open a file? Execute something? What do you need to do exactly?

And of course, what web server are you running? Programming language?

I am using JavaScript as programming language and Apache as web server. I need to execute command (basically need to run some C++ exe files).

Still not enough info. What programming language do you run on the server?
