Sorry I didn't respond for so long, I was temporarily moved to a different project. Coming back to this question I realize this was horribly written, and it isn't even what I really need to accomplish. If you care, here is my problem:

I need to execute a cgi at a certain time everyday using a cron, but there are two major problems. This cgi is on a site that's being hosted by another company, even though we do all of the code for it. So not only is it on a different server, I also need to send variables to it. I can't seem to find anyway to do this without using html.

Thanks a lot for your help so far! I hope this one makes sense.

       hobbitcgi.cfg - Command-line parameters for the Xymon CGI tools

SYNOPSIS

       $BBHOME/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg

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.
