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).

hobbit-nkview.cgi

HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CGI(1)					      General Commands Manual					      HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CGI(1)

NAME

       hobbit-nkview.cgi - Xymon Critical Systems view CGI

SYNOPSIS

       hobbit-nkview.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-nkview.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbit-nkview.sh CGI wrapper.

       hobbit-nkview.cgi matches the current critical statuses against the hobbit-nkview.cfg(5) file, and generates the "Critical Systems" view.

RELATION TO BBNK PAGE

       This view is a replacement for the statically generated "bbnk" page provided in versions of Xymon prior to version 4.2. Although the "bbnk"
       pages are supported throughout Xymon 4.x, it is recommended that You switch to the newer Critical Systems view provided by this CGI.

OPTIONS

       --nkacklevel=NUMBER
	      Sets the acknowledgment level for acknowledgments sent via the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi(1) page. Note that this may be overridden  by  the
	      configuration of the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi utility.

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.

       --area=NAME
	      Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.

       --debug
	      Enables debugging output.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

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

       QUERY_STRING
	      Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
