I got the use case of ovirt.js. But I don't think so it can be used in my case. I have to instead use CGI/php. My aim is to run the command from the rhevm manager bash prompt with dynamic attributes and then returns the success/failure result.
E.g `rhevmcommand -lrt -p password `
Rhevmcommand is written in bash script, which internally calls REST api using curl.
Password is similar that of rhevm manager database.
Now I want something like
<snip>
Var result=`rhevmcommand -lrt`
<> in HTML/java/...web UI.

Exactly, the main use case for oVirtJS is to allow working with Engine
from within a JavaScript environment. HTML/JS web application is the
primary use case, we also plan to support "server-side JS code running
on Node.js" as another use case, so that people can potentially write
custom server-side JS to work with Engine.
