So you actually want a web interface to talk with the server on which
the rails application is running, and not a web interface to administer
many servers; is that correct?
I suppose you could get a textbox and wrap the input with a 'system'
call, and then catch the output and display it back at you, but that's a
bit like playing with a live grenade without a pin.

This sounds like an interesting coding exercise.. But not like a
practical solution to a problem which, I feel, has been misunderstood.
