Menu Through Web Browser

Rafael Mendonça Braga — Thu, 03 Mar 2005 13:54:04 GMT

Hello There!

I want to create an Operation Menu at my HP-UX 11i server, that users can access it through a Web Browser.
Do you know if it's possible?
Somebody can tell me where can I find documentation about it?!

Thanks,

Rafael M. Braga

The easiest way to do it, it's to write some kind of CGI script. But you always can do it in more fancier way like php/jsp stuff. But if it's something simple, CGI will do the job.

There's no tool to create a web based menu program in HP-UX. You would first have to get a web browser installed and configured (Apache is now available with newer 11.11 CDs or you can download it). Then, you have to decide how to build the web page. Web pages can be designed and edited with vi but unless you are really familiar with HTML and vi, this is not a simple task. Whether the CGI script is written as a shell program or with Perl, you'll need web authoring experience.
