Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Run ksh script from cgi Post 36347 by cbkihong on Tuesday 27th of May 2003 09:26:37 PM

I have a related question, somehow I don't know why all my posts to alt.apache.configuration were blocked (no I didn't spam --- and I didn't have ever posted to that newsgroup).

I would like to use a TCL script as a CGI script. However, somehow Apache returns the type as application/x-tcl that prevents it from being handled properly by browsers (marked below).

===========================

cbkihong@cbkihong:~/public_html/cgi-bin> telnet localhost 80
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /~cbkihong/cgi-bin/ip.tcl HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 10:35:07 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.43 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_07-dev Perl/v5.8.0 DAV/2
PHP/4.3.1
Content-Length: 91
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/x-tcl <<<<-------------------

Content-Type: text/html


<html>
<body>
<p>Your IP address is ::1</p>
</body>
</html>

Connection closed by foreign host.

===============================================================

This makes the browser not interpreting it as html and generating a file
save dialog instead, although the script has already been executed and the script
generates the text/html content-type line. How can I make apache use the
content-type line generated by my script instead just like the case for Perl?

CGI passing arrays/hashes to another CGI script

If I have a Perl CGI script (script01), which fills an array(s) with information and outputs a HTML page with a link to another CGI page (script02); is there anyway to pass the array(s) from "script01" to "script02" when the page visitor clicks the link? Hope that makes sense! :) (2 Replies)

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.
