You can make a form and just like any other cgi script, put the script in your web server's cgi bin and point the form to it.
Something like:
Code:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://mywebserver.com/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi">
<P><FONT COLOR="#ddd20f" FACE="Trebuchet MS"><B>Enter data to pass to script below </B></FONT><BR>
<INPUT NAME="NAME" TYPE="text" SIZE="25" VALUE="enter your data here"><BR>
</FONT</P>
<P>
<center><INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Send">
</center>
</p>
</FORM>
This is actually part of a working form that I use at work, just changed the names of the webserver and the script. While the script ends in .cgi, myscript.cgi is actually a korn shell script. This form passes the variable NAME to the script

Does anyone run a lot of SH (shell script) commands from vendors. i.e... product installations. And do you edit/change as a rule of thumb? I done a lot of product installs and some tend to think we should edit/change a vendors SH script. I am just looking for your thoughts. Thanks. (1 Reply)

bb-ack.cgi
BB-ACK.CGI(1) General Commands Manual BB-ACK.CGI(1)NAME
bb-ack.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts
SYNOPSIS
bb-ack.cgi?ACTION=action&NUMBER=acknum&DELAY=validity&MESSAGE=text
DESCRIPTION
bb-ack.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-ack.sh CGI wrapper.
bb-ack.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters.
PARAMETERS
ACTION is the action to perform. The only supported action is "Ack" to acknowledge an alert.
NUMBER is the number identifying the host/service to be acknowledged. It is included in all alert-messages sent out by Xymon.
DELAY is the time (in minutes) that the acknowledge is valid.
MESSAGE is an optional text which will be shown on the status page while the acknowledgment is active. You can use it to e.g. tell users
not to contact you about the problem, or inform them when the problem is expected to be resolved.
OPTIONS --no-pin
bb-ack.cgi normally requires the user to enter the acknowledgment code received in an alert message. If you run it with this option,
the user will instead get a list of the current non-green statuses, and he may send an acknowledge without knowing the code.
--no-cookies
Normally, bb-ack.cgi uses a cookie sent by the browser to initially filter the list of hosts presented. If this is not desired, you
can turn off this behaviour by calling bb-ack.cgi with the --no-cookies option. This would normally be placed in the CGI_ACK_OPTS
setting in hobbitcgi.cfg(5)--env=FILENAME
Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.
--debug
Enables debugging output.
FILES
$BBHOME/web/acknowledge_header
HTML header file for the generated web page
$BBHOME/web/acknowledge_footer
HTML footer file for the generated web page
$BBHOME/web/acknowledge_form
Query form displayed when bb-ack.cgi is called with no parameters.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
QUERY_STRING
Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
BUGS
When using alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the acknowledgment page if this is accessed from the primary page in which they
are defined. So if you have hosts on multiple pages, they will only be visible for acknowledging from their main page which is not what you
would expect.
