The way I imagine it, when a client clicks a link, he/she triggers the server to ssh to an account on the UNIX system where they begin running my application by default, in other words, that's all you can do there. When finished, the connection drops.
Could you have a web form which collects all the necessary information from the user, and then sends it to the UNIX server in a file which your application can parse? That way, users would not be interacting with the UNIX server at all.
