💖 SAUNAFS-CGISERVER(8) 💖

okay bestie, so this whole page is about the saunafs-cgiserver manual — that's the manual name right there in the title, we're just gonna vibe with it. it lives in section 8, she's a system admin girly, and she is so uncomplicated it's actually iconic. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

saunafs-cgiserver — a simple HTTP/CGI server for SaunaFS monitoring 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

saunafs-cgiserver [-H BIND-HOST] [-P BIND-PORT] [-R ROOT-PATH] [-v]

saunafs-cgiserver -h

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so saunafs-cgiserver is, like, a very simple HTTP server — lowercase very, it is not trying to be nginx, it is not trying to be Apache, it is just doing its little thing. what's its thing? running CGI scripts for SaunaFS monitoring. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

and the way it works is: it just runs in the foreground. like, it's in the front, it's not daemonizing, it's not backgrounding itself, it's not going anywhere. it stays right there doing its thing until somebody kills it — with e.g. SIGINT or SIGTERM. so when you're done, you send the signal, and she's gone. no drama. 🌸

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h — prints the usage info and then dips. exits immediately, no server for you. 👑
  • -H BIND_HOST — the local address for it to listen on. the default is, like, any (so she's not picky about which local address she's answering on). 🫶
  • -P BIND_PORT — the port for it to listen on. default here is 9425, which is her little signature number. 💜
  • -R ROOT_PATH — the local path to use as the HTTP document root. the default is CGIDIR, and that got set up at configure time — so if you didn't pass anything, whatever was configured was chosen for you. ✨
  • -v — logs requests on stderr. basically the "tell me everything you're doing" flag, and she tells it all on standard error. 🔥
