ACKINFO.CGI(1)		     General Commands Manual		  ACKINFO.CGI(1)

NAME
     ackinfo.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts

SYNOPSIS
     ackinfo.cgi

DESCRIPTION
     ackinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the ackinfo.sh CGI wrapper.

     ackinfo.cgi is used to acknowledge an alert on the Xymon "Critical Systems"
     view,  generated  by the criticalview.cgi(1) utility. This allows the staff
     viewing the Critical Systems view to acknowledge alerts with  a  "Level  1"
     alert, thereby removing the alert from the Critical Systems view.

     Note  that  the Level 1 alert generated by the ackinfo.cgi utility does NOT
     stop alerts from being sent.

     In a future version of Xymon (after Xymon 4.2), this utility will	also  be
     used for acknowledging alerts at other levels.

OPTIONS
     --level=NUMBER
	    Sets  the  acknowledgment  level.  This is typically used to force a
	    specific level of the acknowledgment, e.g.	a  level  1  acknowledge
	    when called from the Critical Systems view.

     --validity=TIME
	    Sets  the  validity  of the acknowledgment. By default this is taken
	    from the CGI parameters supplied by the user.

     --sender=STRING
	    Logs STRING as the sender of the acknowledgment. By default, this is
	    taken from the loginname of the webuser sending the acknowledgment.

     --env=FILENAME
	    Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing	the  CGI
	    script.

     --area=NAME
	    Load  environment  variables  for a specific area. NB: if used, this
	    option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.

     --debugEnables debugging output.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     XYMONHOME
	    Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.

     QUERY_STRING
	    Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
