App for Google Chrome

I have created an App for g开发者_运维技巧oogle chrome which just opens a web page. I am new in the topic of Apps. I was thinking if it is possible to execute some linux command by using an App in google chrome. For instance, an App which can open a terminal or open a program installed in my machine like Gimp, Kate, Libre Office ...

From the instructions in the web page of google I saw that the only actions for an App are limited to open a web address but I dont know if it is possible to extend the capabilities of the Apps,

Regards.

Aren't apps sandboxed into the Google Chrome Process to ensure they can't affect other processes and for other security reasons. If so, you won't be able to execute programs/commands or view the User's Files unless you use some workaround such as Google's Native Client.

Google has locked down capabilities to stop malicious Web Apps from executing code and bringing malware and exploits.

You can write a NPAPI Plugin or a custom URI scheme associated to Unix terminal.
