Re: [hobbit] Turn Hostnames into hyperlinks?

[Magnus Carlebjörk <magnus (at) carlebjork.se>]

Hi Chris,

I don't know if this is what you're after, but you could try this in the 
hobbitlaunch.cfg file. Add a docurl statement at the end of the CMD line under 
the bbdisplay section like this:

CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --docurl="http://server/weather.cgi?host=%s";

This would create a link for each of the servers on the generated page, where 
the %s would be replaced with the server name. You will not need to restart 
anything, the next page generated should contain the links.

The %s that returns the hostname of the computer/client is the only variable I 
know of, there does not seem to be an IP address equivalent.

I guess you would want to create a script on the other server that parses the 
hostname and does something intelligent ...
