I have tried writing it but it doesn't run properly on the unix shell. Please help me, anyone?

Best Answer:

Simple CGI script that should work (so long as your webserver is configured correctly): #!/bin/sh echo "Content-Type: text/html" echo whoami

ive tried to write it in c, but i couldnt get it to run either. srry. try html or xml. theyre pretty cool - you can itegrate c or unix into it along with java and script. i wasnt very successful. good luck tho!

your description is very terse. google CGI (common gateway interface) programming - that's how a web server calls an external app, be it in c, shell, perl, etc http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html
