Untested:
from twisted.internet import protocol, reactor
from twisted.protocols import basic
COMMANDS = {
"xterm": ("/usr/bin/xterm", {"DISPLAY": ":1.0"}),
}
class CommandLauncher(basic.LineReceiver):
def lineReceived(self, line):
try:
cmd, env = COMMANDS[line]
except KeyError:
self.sendLine("error")
else:
reactor.spawnProcess(None, cmd, env=env)
self.sendLine("okay")
f = protocol.ServerFactory()
f.protocol = CommandLauncher
reactor.listenTCP(12345, f)
reactor.run()
You should be able to telnet to this (port 12345) and type in
names of commands for it to run. Of course, xterm isn't a very
good win32 program to run but I couldn't think of a better example.
You could also write a program to send command requests to this
server, instead of using telnet.
