Windows GUI to feed shell scripts

Currently contemplating an idea to further automate some tools I've written. Excuse my knowledge if this is obvious (I was not able to find it in the forums), but how would I go about using a windows app to feed variables to a shell script as well as initiate that shell script and give me a response to the windows app? I plan to develop the app in VB if that's any more insight.

nevermind, I got my answer.. can use HTML and call it up from the /var/apache/cgi-bin directory on Solaris.
