[Slogger] Running a programm from within a custom javascript

[Ken Schutte]

Something like this might work:
----------------------

var myCommand =  Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"]
     .createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
var myProcess = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/util;1"]
	.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);

myCommand.initWithPath("C:\the_full_path\to_your_program\asdf.exe);
myProcess.init(myCommand);

var args = ["arg1","arg2"];
myProcess.run(false, args, args.length);

---------------------------

These are part of Mozilla's XPCOM stuff, rather than general javascript.
