Abstract:
1. A method of generating server scripts for use with different operating systems, comprising: displaying, at a computer which includes a processor and a memory, a graphical user interface which includes menus and other graphical elements, and which allows for a selection of elements to define functions of a server script; using the selection of elements to produce an XML document in the memory of the computer, wherein the XML document includes tags and information that describe the functions of the server script in an intermediate format that is independent of operating systems with which the server script may be ultimately used: receiving an instruction to generate a server script for use with a particular operating system: interpreting the tags and information in the XML document to produce a server script specific to that particular operating system, including using the tags to plug in information specific to that particular operating system; storing the produced server script in memory; and wherein an instruction is received to generate a server script for use with a different operating system, and wherein the XML document is subsequently used without modification to generate a server script for use with the different operating system, including using the tags to plug in information specific to the different operating system.
