NAME

       bb-findhost.cgi - Xymon CGI script to find hosts

SYNOPSIS

       bb-findhost.cgi?host=REGEX

DESCRIPTION

       bb-findhost.cgi  is  invoked as a CGI script via the bb-findhost.sh CGI
       wrapper.

       bb-findhost.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with  the
       "host=REGEX"  parameter.  The  REGEX is a Posix regular expression (see
       regex(7) ) describing the hostnames to look for.  A  trailing  wildcard
       is  assumed  on all hostnames - e.g. requesting the hostname "www" will
       match any host whose name begins with "www".

       It then produces a single web page,  listing  all  of  the  hosts  that
       matched  any  of  the hostnames, with links to the Xymon webpages where
       they are located.

       The output page lists hosts in the order they appear in the bb-hosts(5)
       file.

       A  sample  web  page  implementing the search facility is included with
       bbgen, you access it via the URL /bb/help/bb-findhost.html.
