I want to generate reports and although the bbgen man-page shows me  exactly what I want, the output is in html. However, I want the  output to be copied and paste in generic plain text for management  reports. Just like it is already possible when you generate an  availability report with the browser, when you drill down to a  specific item and see in text-mode something like this:


Availability Report
Nov 08 2005

Is this possible, and if so, how?!
No, that is not possible - sorry.

What you *can* do is to generate the report as a comma-separated
file - pick the "Generate spreadsheet" button from the Availability
Report page. This gives you a file with the availability data for
all of your hosts+tests, and for people who are used to manipulate
data in Excel or some other spreadsheet tool, generating a text report
or some other presentation of these data should be easy. (Personally, I have no idea how to do that - but then I've never had
to work with these tools).


Regards,
Henrik
