If the IP addresses are required, don't make them options (that would indicate they are optional, anyway). In other words, any non-option arguments are IP addresses.

I cannot come up with an alternative which is unambiguous if you don't want the user to quote the list of IP addresses. (You can avoid quoting by using a separator which is not whitespace, of course. Maybe separating the IP addresses with a colon would be acceptable.)

Threads are not a limited resource, and it's actually better to post different questions in different threads. Your question is not very specific, but if this is a CGI script, anything it prints will be visible in the web browser (provided it adheres to some minimal formatting standards). Read the CGI spec, it's really quite simple.

If it's not CGI, perhaps you just want to redirect the output to a text file which is in the document tree of your web server.

Code:
command >~/public_html/output.txt

... would make the output available at http://server/~you/output.txt depending of course on how your web server is configured (and the file probably needs to be chmod a+r).

bb-findhost.cgi

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

NAME

       bb-findhost.cgi - Xymon CGI script to find hosts

SYNOPSIS

       bb-findhost.cgi?host=REGEX

DESCRIPTION

       bb-findhost.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-findhost.sh CGI wrapper.

       bb-findhost.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the "host=REGEX" parameter. The REGEX is a Posix regular expression (see
       regex(7) ) describing the hostnames to look for.  A trailing wildcard is assumed on all hostnames - e.g. requesting the hostname "www" will
       match any host whose name begins with "www".

       It then produces a single web page, listing all of the hosts that matched any of the hostnames, with links to the Xymon webpages where they
       are located.

       The output page lists hosts in the order they appear in the bb-hosts(5) file.

       A sample web page implementing the search facility is included with bbgen, you access it via the URL /bb/help/bb-findhost.html.

OPTIONS

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

FILES

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_header
	      HTML header file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_footer
	      HTML footer file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_form
	      Query form displayed when bb-findhost.cgi is called with no parameters.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBHOSTS
	      bb-findhost.cgi uses the BBHOSTS environment variable to find the bb-hosts file listing all known hosts and their page locations.

       BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
