Also, a quick and simple way to handle QUERY_STRING in bash is:

Code:
OLDIFS="$IFS"
IFS="&=" # Split strings upon ampersand and equals
# If query_string="a=b&c=d, this sets $1=a, $2=b, $3=c, $4=d
set -- ${QUERY_STRING}
IFS="$OLDIFS" # Set splitting back to normal

while [ "$#" -gt 0 ]
do
        case "$1" in
        val_x) XX="$2" ; shift ;;
        val_y) YY="$2" ; shift ;;
        val_z) ZZ="$2" ; shift ;;
        *) ;; # Ignore unknown option
        esac
        shift # Throw away $1, move $2 etc down
done

Faster than running sed three times.

There's lots of stuff that's not being handled by using bash, like %20 encoding for spaces, etc.

DESCRIPTION

       hobbitcgi.cfg(1) controls the commandline options passed to all of the Xymon CGI tools through their respective shell-script wrappers. Typ-
       ically the options listed here are used for system-wide configuration of the CGI utilities, e.g. to define where  they  read  configuration
       files.

       The exact set of commandline options available are described in the man-page for each of the CGI utilities.

       The file is "sourced" into the shell script wrapper, so assignments to the CGI-specific variables must follow standard shell-script syntax.
