Linux and Unix-Like UNIX and Linux Applications

Hi All,
I need a basic overview of connecting a HTML web page to Unix
I will give a brief of my exact requirement.
There will be a front end HTML page - a web page which will have certain buttons.
Each button will have certain functionality.
For eg: There is a button for Disk Usage. When the user presses that, the back end code should fire df -g /disk command on a AIX server and return the output on the web page itself.
Basically, a user should not be needed to login to terminal and fire the command, All he sees is the web page.

Any suggestions are welcome

Writing applications that collect or invoke certain server commands is a pretty tough task - the web resouces can be written in php for example - take a look here, it can be done with .jsp for example, perl/cgi is also suitable.
