Okay,say you have a server,or are writing the control panel for the server,it runs a UNIX OS.There is no GUI.Is there like a configuration file for everything,like for example creating a new POP3 account,would you just add a line to a configuration file,or is it something far more compilicated?At first,i thought creating a subdomain would be hard,but then when i saw how to do it that it only took about 5 lines of directives in httpd.conf i realized it was easier than i thought.So basically,how do the control panels do what they do,what works behind them,and is it possible to write a CP in a scripting language like Perl of PHP?
