In general your script would echo html. Could be whole page of html or something designed to be embedded without html content. You can use a cgi-bin to invoke the program which outputs the html for display (for example).

If it's just static generation, you could simply direct output to an html file that can be seen by the web server.

But in general, in both cases, you would output HTML format from the script.

Beyond this, you'd need to give more info about the web server you're running, modules installed, etc. For example, perhaps you have the php module installed into your web server... well, it's pretty easy to make a callout to a shell program from php... you could use that for dynamic presentation of the script's output. And as I mentioned, there's always cgi-bin as well. You might want to invest time and/or money in reading up on building web sites... Just an idea...

upsstats.cgi

UPSSTATS.CGI(8) 						    NUT Manual							   UPSSTATS.CGI(8)

NAME

       upsstats.cgi - Web-based UPS status viewer

SYNOPSIS

       upsstats.cgi

	   Note
	   As a CGI program, this should be invoked through your web server. If you run it from the command line, it will either complain about
	   unauthorized access or spew a bunch of HTML at you.

DESCRIPTION

       upsstats.cgi uses template files to build web pages containing status information from UPS hardware. It can repeat sections of those
       template files to monitor several UPSes simultaneously, or focus on a single UPS.

       These templates can also include references to upsimage.cgi(8) for graphical displays of battery charge levels, voltage readings, and the
       UPS load.

ACCESS CONTROL

       upsstats will only talk to upsd(8) servers that have been defined in your hosts.conf(5). If it complains that "Access to that host is not
       authorized", check that file first.

TEMPLATES

       The web page that is displayed is actually a template containing commands to upsstats which are replaced by status information. The default
       file used for the overview is upsstats.html.

       When monitoring a single UPS, the file displayed is upsstats-single.html.

       The format of these files, including the possible commands, is documented in upsstats.html(5).

FILES

       hosts.conf(5), upsstats.html(5), upsstats-single.html

SEE ALSO

       upsimage.cgi(8)
