Tom Kirkpatrick of codegobbler.com has told us he's writing a series of articles on some of the great features in Aptana Jaxer. His most recent article is on the new Jaxer.Process APIs that lets Jaxer interact with the operating system on the server to achieve all kinds of things. (Yes you heard right. That's JavaScript interacting with the operating system).

Tom's simple example, complete with full source calls usr/bin/uptime to get the uptime, then display it in the webpage. There's a full working demo to if you want to see the uptime of codegobbler.com's server too.

Good work Tom! We look forward to more great stuff from codegobbler.com
