Build dynamic tables from system script

rkelley

Greetings all,

I manage a number of servers for our company and would like to use the DataTables tool to display a list of currently running processes on these servers. I am a very new web programmer/hacker and am just learning to use javascript, jQuery, etc. Mostly, I learn by example.

I have read the example documentation but don't see how to run an external script call to collect the data. In particular, I want to run an external script to collect data in comma-separated output then use the DataTables tool to display the resulting data.

Can someone please point me to a snippet/example code I can work with?

Thank you in advance!
