Thanks Jim, I had thought about calling script every day for a week, and the script checking the day, but that's a better way to do it.
Regards, Mike

bb-datepage.cgi
BB-DATEPAGE.CGI(1) General Commands Manual BB-DATEPAGE.CGI(1)
NAME
bb-datepage.cgi - Xymon CGI script to view pre-built reports by date
SYNOPSIS
bb-datepage.cgi?type={day,week,month} --url=URLPREFIX [options]
DESCRIPTION
bb-datepage.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-datepage.sh CGI wrapper.
bb-datepage.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the type of time-selection that is desired: Either "day", "week" or
"month" can be requested. It will then generate a web form with appropriate day/week/month selection boxes, and based on the users' selec-
tion a resulting url is built from the URLPREFIX and the time selection. The browser is then redirected to this URL.
The URL is constructed from the URLPREFIX, the type-parameter, the value of the "pagepath" or "host" cookie, and the users' selection as
follows:
type=day
The final URL is URLPREFIX/daily/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/PAGEPATH.
type=week
The final URL is URLPREFIX/weekly/YEAR/WEEK/PAGEPATH.
type=month
The final URL is URLPREFIX/monthly/YEAR/MONTH/PAGEPATH.
YEAR is the full year (4 digits, including century). MONTH is the two-digit number of the month (01..12). DAY is the number of the
day in the month (01..31). WEEK is the ISO 8601:1988 week-number (01..53). PAGEPATH is the current value of the "pagepath" cookie if
set; if it is not set but the "host" cookie is set, then this host is looked up in the bb-hosts file and the page where this host is
found is used for PAGEPATH. These two cookies are set by the default web-header templates supplied with Xymon.
OPTIONS
--url=URLPREFIX
This specifies the initial part of the final URL. This option is required.
--hffile=FILENAME
Specifies the template files (from $BBHOME/web/) to use. The default is "--hffile=report".
--color=COLOR
Sets the background color of the generated webpage. The default is blue.
--env=FILENAME
Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.
--debug
Enables debugging output.
$BBHOME/web/report_form_daily
HTML form template for the date selection form when type=daily.
$BBHOME/web/report_form_weekly
HTML form template for the date selection form when type=weekly.
$BBHOME/web/report_form_monthly
HTML form template for the date selection form when type=monthly.
$BBHOME/web/report_header
HTML header file for the generated web page
$BBHOME/web/report_footer
HTML footer file for the generated web page
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
QUERY_STRING
Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
