Thanks for your help
Thank you for your detailed response. I appreciate your time and it looks like I have a long ways to go before I am going to be able to write effective scripts. Would you be able to recommend textual material I could reference through this learning process ?
Thanks again

smokeping_cgi
SMOKEPING_CGI(1) SmokePing SMOKEPING_CGI(1)
NAME
smokeping_cgi - SmokePing webfrontend
OVERVIEW
This script acts as a 'website' for your SmokePing monitoring operation. It presents the targets you are looking at in a tree structure and
draws graphs as they are required by people looking at the pages.
DESCRIPTION
To get smokeping_cgi going, you need a webserver which allows you to run CGI or better FastCGI scripts. The system must be setup so that
the cgi process is allowed to write to the image caching area as defined in the config file.
This script runs fine as a normal CGI, BUT it will appear to be very slow, because it does a lot of things when starting up. So if the
script has to be started a fresh on every click, this is both slow and a tough thing for your webserver. I therefore strongly recommend
using FastCGI.
Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions.
SETUP
There is a sample htdocs directory in your smokeping installation root. Copy its content to the place where your webserver expects its
files. There are also two sample cgi scripts showing how to launch the smokeping cgi in your website. The only difference is the file
extension. Adjust the paths in the script and you should be ready to go.
