Is there a way I can type Tcl commands directly to the server?
• In OpenACS 5.0 and above, you can install the developer support package, which is probably a good idea anyway (it makes development much easier). There is a /ds/shell.tcl page that lets you type in Tcl to the server directly. • A second method (for pre-5.0 systems) is detailed here: Setting up a Tcl shell page • A third method is to use the nscp module in Aolserver. Here’s how this works (courtesy of jim on IRC): The basic deal is you would enable nscp. You’d do that in the config file, because nscp is in the aolserver source of late. A couple of there: you specify the port, username and password (as a crypt hash). You should be able to say “only let this port be accessed from localhost” and you probably should do that. Once you have that part, you can do telnet localhost
