Retrieve query_string on my CGI in ksh/html ?
I've this ksh script in my CGI :

Code:
SERV_LINUX=$(cat /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/foo.txt | awk -F';' '{print $2}' | sort | uniq)
    
    DATE_Linux=$(cat /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/foo.txt | awk -F';' '{print $3}' | sort | uniq)

    echo "<form action="LINUX_GNU.ksh" method="post">"
    echo "<select name="SERV">"
    echo "$SERV_LINUX" | while read SERV_LINUX; do
    echo " <option value="$SERV_LINUX">$SERV_LINUX</option>"
    done
    echo "</select>"
    
    echo "<select name="DATE_Linux">"
    echo "$DATE_Linux" | while read DATE_Linux; do
    echo " <option value="$DATE_Linux">$DATE_Linux</option>"
    done
    echo "</select>"
    
    echo "<input type="submit" value="Select">"
    echo "</form>"
    
     echo "</div>"

This piece of script create a dropdown menu which allow to choose a server. On my second page, If I put this :

Code:
read a 
echo $a

I'm able to retrieve the query string like this :

Code:
SERV=my_serv&DATE_Linux=2019-10

I want to know if it's possible to do the same things but only with button ? I mean, If I've 4 options in my dropdown menu, I would like to create 4 buttons, like that :

Code:
SERV_LINUX=$(cat /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/foo.txt | awk -F';' '{print $2}' | sort | uniq)

echo "<form action="test.ksh" method="post">"
echo "$SERV_LINUX" | while read SERV_LINUX; do
echo "<input type="submit" value="$SERV_LINUX">"
done
echo "</select>"
echo "</form>"

One button for each options of the dropdown. When I will click on the button, a new page will open with the result :

Code:
SERV=my_serv

But When I try that, I've no result... Do you think it's possible ? Do u have any idea to do this ?

Thanks ! Smilie

nbtscan

NBTSCAN(1)						      General Commands Manual							NBTSCAN(1)

NAME

       nbtscan --  program for scanning networks for NetBIOS name information

SYNOPSIS

       nbtscan	[-v]   [-d]   [-e]   [-l]   [-t  timeout]   [-b  bandwidth]   [-r]   [-q]   [-s separator]  [-h]  [-m retransmits]  [-f filename |
       scan_range]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the nbtscan command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       nbtscan is a program for scanning IP networks for NetBIOS name information. It sends NetBIOS status query to each address in supplied range
       and  lists  received information in human readable form. For each responded host it lists IP address, NetBIOS computer name, logged-in user
       name and MAC address (such as Ethernet).

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -v	 Verbose output. Print all names received from each host.

       -d	 Dump packets. Print whole packet contents. Cannot be used with -v, -s or -h options.

       -e	 Format output in /etc/hosts format.

       -l	 Format output in lmhosts format. Cannot be used with -v, -s or -h options.

       -t timeout
		 Wait timeout seconds for response. Default 1.

       -b bandwidth
		 Output throttling. Slow down output so that it uses no more that bandwidth bps.  Useful on slow links, so  that  ougoing  queries
		 don't get dropped.

       -r	 Use local port 137 for scans. Win95 boxes respond to this only.  You need to be root to use this option.

       -q	 Suppress banners and error messages.

       -s separator
		 Script-friendly output. Don't print column and record headers, separate fields with separator.

       -h	 Print human-readble names for services.  Can only be used with -v option.

       -m retransmits
		 Number of retransmits. Default 0.

       -f filename
		 Take IP addresses to scan from file "filename"

       scan_range
		 What  to  scan.  Can  either  be  single  IP  like  192.168.1.1  or range of addresses in one of two forms: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx or
		 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-xxx.

BUGS

       Report bugs to alla@sovlink.ru (that's autor of nbtscan). I cannot promise to do anything but I might well want fix it. Remember:  no  war-
       ranty.  At least it's worth what you payed for it.

AUTHOR

       This  manual  page  was	written by Ryszard Lach rla@debian.org for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others) and is based on
