Bug Challenging task : script for mailing process completion timing report to users.
Hi all,

This is my first post.
I am new to unix scripting.

My requirement is as follows :

We are using a financial backoffice application.
Now at the end of day we have send users a status report stating all timings of EOD processes for all countries.

I need timings for following :

1. Timings of file generation for countries.
2. EOD process start time AND end time - This we take by logging to unix .then accessing the backoffice application and then we make some option choices to get elapsed times.
But these timings are dynamic.
3. Once the files for all countries reach our server ,they are sftp to dstination server .We receive a mail in outlook regarding the timing when files reach these servers.we need to write these timings in this report and send it to users.

Are there any suggestion on how this complicated task can be accomplished.
please help if you have experience on the same task .
contact for any concerns.

bb-rep.cgi

BB-REP.CGI(1)						      General Commands Manual						     BB-REP.CGI(1)

NAME

       bb-rep.cgi - CGI front-end to bbgen reporting

SYNOPSIS

       bb-rep.cgi [--noclean] [bbgen-options]

DESCRIPTION

       bb-rep.cgi  is  invoked	as  a CGI script via the bb-rep.sh CGI wrapper.  It triggers the generation of a Xymon availability report for the
       timeperiod specified by the CGI paramaters.

       bb-rep.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the following parameters:

	  start-mon (Start month of the report)
	  start-day (Start day-of-month of the report)
	  start-yr  (Start year of the report)
	  end-mon   (End month of the report)
	  end-day   (End day-of-month of the report)
	  end-yr    (End year of the report)
	  style     (Report style)

       The following non-standard parameters are handled by the bbgen version of bb-rep.cgi:

	  suburl    (Page in report to go to, if not the top page)

       The "month" parameters must be specified as the three-letter english month name abbreviation: Jan, Feb, Mar ...

       Start- and end-days are in the range 1..31; the start- and end-year must be specified including century (e.g. "2003").

       End-times beyond the current time are silently replaced with the current time.

       The generated report will include data for the start- and end-days, i.e. the report will begin at 00:00:00 of the  start-day,  and  end	at
       23:59:59 of the end-day.

       The "style" parameter is passed directly to bbgen(1) and should be "crit", "non-crit" or "all". Other values result in undefined behaviour.

       All of the processing involved in generating the report is done by invoking bbgen(1) with the proper "--reportopts" option.

OPTIONS

       --noclean
	      Do  not clean the BBREP directory of old reports. Makes the report-tool go a bit faster - instead, you can clean up the BBREP direc-
	      tory e.g. via a cron-job.

       --env=FILENAME
	      Load the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

       bbgen-options
	      All other options passed to bb-rep.cgi are passed on to the bbgen(1) program building the report files.

FILES

       $BBHOME/web/report_header
	      HTML template header for the report request form

       $BBHOME/web/report_footer
	      HTML template footer for the report request form

       $BBHOME/web/report_form
	      HTML template report request form

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBGENREPOPTS
	      bbgen options passed by default to the bb-rep.cgi. This happens in the bb-rep.sh wrapper.

       BBHOME Home directory of the Xymon server installation

       BBREP  Directory where generated reports are stored. This directory must be writable by the userid  executing  the  CGI	script,  typically
	      "www", "apache" or "nobody". Default: $BBHOME/www/rep/

       BBREPURL
	      The URL prefix to use when accessing the reports via a browser.  Default: $BBWEB/rep
