how to embed a bash prompt/terminal inside ruby on rails web page?

how to execute a linux command from the web page, and get the output of the ommand?

You are looking for an AJAX terminal. Several of them are mentioned in this [Stack overflow question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1944818/whats-a-good-browser-based-terminal-emulator) — Daniel Lopez, Jul 29 '11 at 16:12

You must be looking for answers in this question: Terminal on the web browser?

I myself found the right references there.

Why would you do that? :))

It's simple though, since ruby has %x[]

The simplest approach would probably be to take a preexisting embeddable SSH implementation, such as a Java Applet, and include that in the page.
