Adding a shell program

To associate a shell program with a file extension for a given account, you must add a record to the shell database file. To add a record to the shell database file, you must specify the file extension and the full path of the shell program.

The following example will associate the changebase shell program with the html file extension for the personal account.

webpublish --add -F shell -a personal -e html -P /home/mydir/changebase

This example will cause the changebase program to be called everytime that WebPublish is about to transfer a file with an html file extension, while publishing the personal account.
