I am trying to add support for pgbackrest tool to pgadmin. I added a module local pgadmin repo but i couldn't figure out how to execute a command in the server and get the result of command back. How can i develop an extension that requires command execution in host server?
Please refer the backup module under '<pgadmin-src>/web/pgadmin/tools/' directory.
Right - there are existing examples of our external process management code, of which the existing backup module is a good example. Any external tools called from pgAdmin should use the same code as it provides monitoring, notifications and output display.
For something like pgBackrest though, I wonder if it should actually be made part of the existing backup/restore dialogues anyway. Unless there's a *really* good reason, I'd rather not have multiple backup.restore dialogues in the app.
