Hi, Is there any way to execute files in ros from a web page? This will help in fasting the process and give control to users instead of having administrator running their required pages.

I guess this is more of a "How do I run a command line script on a Server with a web facing UI?" kind of question than something to do with ROS specifically. So I guess there are many ways to go about doing that, depending on your use case.

One super quick way(not the best though) way would be to use Jupyter Notebooks. Setting up a Secure Public Jupyter Notebook Server is super easy and you can run ROS python scripts directly or python scritps that run shell commands(roslaunch/rosrun).

I haven't actually given a lot of thought about this but I guess it should work for running ROS nodes on a server remotely.
