The application we currently use and the porting I am looking to do, saves 
a copy of any record when it is changed so that you can go back to a 
previous version. It stores info about the change etc.

Still sick. Something should get put
up soon.

Hey, David

I am currently using SCM software(RCS) to manage bb-hosts and other 
configuration files.
Do you know if there is a way to implement rollback of change operations 
on bb-hosts* files in MySQL/PHP ?

This is my only concern for switching to MySQLTABLE_TO_BBHOST type of 
architecture.


I created this URL, trying to capture this email threads into formal doc.
Please document your work there if you can/interested.

Did you check out qWikiOffice since you are a PHP person ? 
I am dreaming(since I know little php currently) to port qWikiOffice or 
TomatoCart's admin tool to xymon server. 


Please take care, I need your php skill to help/work on xymon dashboard.

I have decided to use mysql and php. I have an initial host page design
up and running although the code is automatically generated from a form
generator at the moment.

I'll help as much as I have time for. I am experienced with php and
mysql. Learning web dev (I'm really a Solaris sysadmin, though :-).


Being a Solaris admin can help too ;)

Hint, Sun's webstack for SAMP.

I'll watch for info on your posting. I've been away from the list
for a while and I'm just catching up today.

database.

I think I have posted this quite a while ago but it is

still on my mind. We currently configure the hosts, pages etc using
a windows

database and windows front end that I wrote quite some time ago. I
keep getting

the urge to convert it to a linux database and a web frontend. However

I would

not do this if there is no interest in using it.

The

point is that you never touch the bb-hosts file and all configuration
of hosts

and layouts is done via a user interface.

Is

there any interest in this?

Is

there anyone willing to help?

If

so I was going to convert to mysql and either php or perl cgi. Any
comments on

this?

We

have 400 odd hosts here and have pages split by priority, service,
location,

and support group all on the front page but all configured via the
database.

Currently

the bb-hosts is built via a perl script that extracts the database
and then

generates a main bb-hosts file plus include files for each sub-page.
