XYMONPAGE(1)

πŸ’– XYMONPAGE πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because this little cutie is called xymonpage β€” it's the utility that shows a webpage using a header and a footer. she's from the Xymon manual, section 1 (General Commands Manual), and honestly? she's iconic. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xymonpage [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options only, no positional drama. πŸŽ€


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, xymonpage is a tool that generates a webpage in the Xymon style. not me making a whole aesthetic for you 🫢 β€” it slaps on a standard header and footer, plus a Xymon background, so everything looks cohesive and cute and like it belongs.

the actual data you wanna show on the page β€” everything that isn't the header or the footer β€” gets passed to xymonpage through stdin. she takes it in, does her thing, and the generated webpage comes right back out to stdout. in through stdin, out through stdout, main character energy, no cap. ⭐


πŸ’œ OPTIONS πŸ’œ

  • --env=FILENAME β€” loads up the environment that's defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script. like a little pre-game ritual, she gets dressed before she goes out. 🌈
  • --hffile=PREFIX β€” tells her to use the header- and footer-files at $XYMONHOME/web/PREFIX_header and PREFIX_footer. and if you don't specify this one at all? she just uses stdnormal_header and stdnormal_footer. the defaults ate, fr fr. πŸ“
  • --color=COLOR β€” sets the background color of the generated webpage to COLOR. Default: Blue. blue is her signature, lowkey obsessed. πŸ’™ (okay technically it's the default so you can change it, but why would you 😭)
  • --debug β€” enables debugging output. when she's being loud and telling you everything, this is why. πŸ”₯

πŸŽ€ lowkey a reminder: everything literal β€” option names, file paths, defaults β€” stays exactly as written, so don't go freestyling them in your config. she's forgiving but she's not that forgiving. πŸ’€

and that's the whole page bestie, no notes. this was the Xymon manual, Version 4.3.30: 4 Sep 2019 β€” yes, the date is literally that, she's a vintage queen and we respect her πŸ‘‘βœ¨ bye ily πŸ’–
