I believe you've missed the Content-Type header. Not the HTTP-Equiv one, but the real header one, which is required by most CGI-powered Web servers by default.

Try to put this at the top of the script.

echo -e "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"



And try to get more information if you post again. The part of the Apache error log maybe which describes the error rather than the generic "Internal Server Error" message. And you're sure your Web server really is taught to interpret shell scripts as CGI scripts properly?

NAME

       Xymon web page headers, footers and forms.

DESCRIPTION

       The  Xymon  webpages  are  somewhat  customizable, by modifying the header- and footer-templates found in the ~xymon/server/web/ directory.
       There are usually two or more files for a webpage: A template_header file which is the header for this webpage, and a template_footer  file
       which is the footer.  Webpages where entry forms are used have a template_form file which is the data-entry form.

       With  the  exception of the bulletin files, the header files are inserted into the HTML code at the very beginning and the footer files are
       inserted at the bottom.

       The following templates are available:

       bulletin
	      A bulletin_header and bulletin_footer is not shipped with Xymon, but if they exist then the content of these files will be  inserted
	      in  all  HTML  documents generated by Xymon. The "bulletin_header" contents will appear after the normal header for the webpage, and
	      the "bulletin_footer" will appear just before the normal footer for the webpage. These files can be used to post important  informa-
	      tion about the Xymon system, e.g. to notify users of current operational or monitoring problems.
