JavaScript (or JS+PHP) Terminal Client

Question

Does anyone know of a JS-based terminal client? Either something that initiates an SSH connection with a remote host or even something that simply communicates with a remote PHP script to execute commands and retrieve output. Does such a thing exist?

Answer 1

So far JSDom Shell is the only thing I have found, which seems relatively barebones but practical. If there are any other more substantial options, feel free to share!

Answer 2

Check Anyterm, it uses a XmlHttpRequest channel to communicate with a daemon that uses a pseudo-terminal to communicate with a shell or other application.

Answer 3

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsterminal

but you'd have to write your own commands to connect with the host

Answer 4

http://www.masswerk.at/termlib/ looks interesting as a base.

Answer 5

Shell in a box could be used also with a small Asus EEE-PC:

It works great also for virtual machines in a cloud.
