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

hobbit-ackinfo.cgi

HOBBIT-ACKINFO.CGI(1)					      General Commands Manual					     HOBBIT-ACKINFO.CGI(1)

NAME

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts

SYNOPSIS

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbit-ackinfo.sh CGI wrapper.

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi  is  used  to  acknowledge an alert on the Xymon "Critical Systems" view, generated by the hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) utility.
       This allows the staff viewing the Critical Systems view to acknowledge alerts with a "Level 1" alert, thereby removing the alert  from  the
       Critical Systems view.

       Note that the Level 1 alert generated by the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi utility does NOT stop alerts from being sent.

       In a future version of Xymon (after Xymon 4.2), this utility will also be used for acknowledging alerts at other levels.

OPTIONS

       --level=NUMBER
	      Sets  the  acknowledgment  level. This is typically used to force a specific level of the acknowledgment, e.g. a level 1 acknowledge
	      when called from the Critical Systems view.

       --validity=TIME
	      Sets the validity of the acknowledgment. By default this is taken from the CGI parameters supplied by the user.

       --sender=STRING
	      Logs STRING as the sender of the acknowledgment. By default, this is taken from the loginname of the webuser sending the acknowledg-
	      ment.

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.

       --area=NAME
	      Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.

       --debug
	      Enables debugging output.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.

       QUERY_STRING
	      Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
