Html web page to Unix Connectivity
Hi All,
I need a basic overview of connecting a HTML web page to Unix
I will give a brief of my exact requirement.
There will be a front end HTML page - a web page which will have certain buttons.
Each button will have certain functionality.
For eg: There is a button for Disk Usage. When the user presses that, the back end code should fire df -g /disk command on a AIX server and return the output on the web page itself.
Basically, a user should not be needed to login to terminal and fire the command, All he sees is the web page.
Any suggestions are welcome

hobbitsvc.cgi
BB-HOSTSVC.CGI(1) General Commands Manual BB-HOSTSVC.CGI(1)
NAME
hobbitsvc.cgi - CGI program to view Xymon status logs
SYNOPSIS
hobbitsvc.cgi [--hobbitd|--historical] [--history={top|bottom}]
DESCRIPTION
hobbitsvc.cgi is a CGI program to present a Xymon status log in HTML form (ie, as a web page). It can be used both for the logs showing the
current status, and for historical logs from the "histlogs" directory. It is normally invoked as a CGI program, and therefore receives most
of the input parameters via the CGI QUERY_STRING environment variable.
Unless the "--historical" option is present, the current status log is used. This assumes a QUERY_STRING environment variable of the form
HOSTSVC=hostname.servicename
where "hostname" is the name of the host with commas instead of dots, and "servicename" is the name of the service (the column name in
Xymon). Such links are automatically generated by the bbgen(1) tool when the environment contains "BBLOGSTATUS=dynamic".
With the "--historical" option present, a historical logfile is used. This assumes a QUERY_STRING environment variable of the form
HOST=hostname&SERVICE=servicename&TIMEBUF=timestamp
where "hostname" is the name of the host with commas instead of dots, "servicename" is the name of the service, and "timestamp" is the time
of the log. This is automatically generated by the bb-hist.cgi(1) tool.
OPTIONS
--hobbitd
Retrieve the current status log from hobbitd(1) rather than from the logfile. This is for use with the Xymon daemon from the Xymon
monitor version 4.
--historical
Use a historical logfile instead of the current logfile.
--history={top|bottom|none}
When showing the current logfile, provide a "HISTORY" button at the top or the bottom of the webpage, or not at all. The default is
to put the HISTORY button at the bottom of the page.
--env=FILENAME
Load the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.
--templates=DIRECTORY
Where to look for the HTML header- and footer-templates used when generating the webpages. Default: $BBHOME/web/
--no-svcid
Do not include the HTML tags to identify the hostname/service on the generated web page. Useful is this already happens in the
hostsvc_header template file, for instance.
--multigraphs=TEST1[,TEST2]
This causes hobbitsvc.cgi to generate links to service graphs that are split up into multiple images, with at most 5 graphs per
image. This option only works in Xymon mode. If not specified, only the "disk" status is split up this way.
--no-disable
By default, the info-column page includes a form allowing users to disable and re-enable tests. If your setup uses the default sepa-
ration of administration tools into a separate, password- protected area, then use of the disable- and enable-functions requires
access to the administration tools. If you prefer to do this only via the dedicated administration page, this option will remove the
disable-function from the info page.
--no-jsvalidation
The disable-function on the info-column page by default uses JavaScript to validate the form before submitting the input to the
Xymon server. However, some browsers cannot handle the Javascript code correctly so the form does not work. This option disables the
use of Javascript for form-validation, allowing these browsers to use the disable-function.
FILES
$BBHOME/web/hostsvc_header
HTML template header
$BBHOME/web/hostsvc_footer
HTML template footer
ENVIRONMENT
NONHISTS=info,trends,graphs
A comma-separated list of services that does not have meaningful history, e.g. the "info" and "trends" columns. Services listed here
do not get a "History" button.
TEST2RRD=test,test
A comma-separated list of the tests that have an RRD graph.
