[luci] Template button execute lua code

[Ryan Anderson]

Thanks Jow,

One more question. How would I tie this executable code to a button click
in the template such that it is executed when the button is pressed?

For example:

<%
function run_script()
  os.execute("/path/to/script.sh >/dev/null")
end
%>

<input type="submit" value="Run Script" onClick=??? />
