Is there a data type in Galaxy that identifies executables uniquely, eg. from the executable bit in the file perms or some other way?
Thanks,
Galaxy's data types are for data files - runnable tools/executables are handled via XML tool wrappers which define their options etc. Are you really asking about creating a datatype for a binary executable file? Or letting users run arbitrary tools? Even the idea of electing users run an arbitrary R script is dangerous enough from a security point of view. Peter
