Best way to publish logs and reports from shell scripts?
Hello,
I have been searching for some advice on this.
I'm new to linux in a sys-admin kind of role, and I'm often asked to get information by running basic commands in the linux shell. For example, how many jobs running, grep a number of files, run a random program and output the results, etc. and this all needs to be shared with management.
So far the only way to store this information is to send email via the shell scripts or to store in a simple text file. I don't really want to use a database since this information is so simple. I don't work for a web development shop so we don't have any sophisticated web tools. Would PHP/HTML be the best way, or just continue spamming people with emails?
How is this typically done in an organized way?
Thanks

shell(1F) FMLI Commands shell(1F)
NAME
shell - run a command using shell
SYNOPSIS
shell command [command] ...
DESCRIPTION
The shell function concatenate its arguments, separating each by a space, and passes this string to the shell ($SHELL if set, otherwise
/usr/bin/sh).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample output of shell command.
Since the Form and Menu Language does not directly support background processing, the shell function can be used instead.
`shell "build prog > /dev/null &"`
If you want the user to continue to be able to interact with the application while the background job is running, the output of an exe-
cutable run by shell in the background must be redirected: to a file if you want to save the output, or to /dev/null if you don't want to
save it (or if there is no output), otherwise your application may appear to be hung until the background job finishes processing.
shell can also be used to execute a command that has the same name as an FMLI built-in function.
NOTES
The arguments to shell will be concatenate using spaces, which may or may not do what is expected. The variables set in local environments
will not be expanded by the shell because "local" means "local to the current process."
