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 ...

Regards,

For each host I have listed on BBDisplay, I want to turn their name into
a hyperlink that takes me to a weather page for that customer's
location.  I was able to insert an html hyperlink into the index.html
for that customer- and it worked!  Though the index.html refreshes every
minute and ends up removing my tag.  Can someone shine some light on
this for me- or direct me to the right place to ask this question?  Very
very much appreciated.
