[Xymon] Xymon and Lighttpd 500 Internal Error

Thu Aug 29 20:57:21 CEST 2019

Yea, I'm lost.

www-data at pihole:~$ export QUERY_STRING="HOST=pihole.xx.lan&SERVICE=http"
www-data at pihole:~$ echo $QUERY_STRING
HOST=pihole.xx.lan&SERVICE=http
www-data at pihole:~$ /usr/lib/xymon/cgi-bin/svcstatus.sh $QUERY_STRING
Status: 403
Refresh: 30

<html><head><title>Invalid request</title></head>
<body>Invalid request</body></html>
www-data at pihole:~$

I couldn't find anything in the man pages or on-line documentation
about invoking svcstatus.sh on the command line.
