It took me a while to work out a testing harness for debugging a CGI script last year, but I came up with the following shell script when I was trying to work out why graphs weren't properly appearing in trends (missing lines, etc):

#!/bin/sh
. /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg
HOST=$1
SERVICE=trends
env REQUEST_URI=/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=${HOST}\&SERVICE=$SERVICE
SCRIPT_NAME=/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh
QUERY_STRING=HOST=${HOST}\&SERVICE=$SERVICE REQUEST_METHOD=GET
/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitsvc.cgi $CGI_SVC_OPTS --debug



The debug output would show me the rrd files as they were found, and
allowed me to pin down that the graph name had to match the start of the
RRD filename.
