addon: os and critical icon 🔗 link

Hi, i have made some edit on the hobbit-sources.
When working in a enterprise, i found useful to see also two icons next the hostname: os and critical.
Os could be windows,linux,aix,etc....and critical usually is gold|silver|bronze.
I used the DESCR options in bb-hosts (DESCR:os:critical), hobbit will search for icons with the same 
name adding ".gif" in ~hobbit/server/www/.
If someone needs the gifs just email me.
Maybe will be nice to add it as a new feature in hobbit5.0.

For who wants the same here what to do:
at line 382 of pagegen.c (~hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay) BEFORE:
fprintf(output, "%s",
         hostnamehtml(h->hostname, ((pagetype != PAGE_BB) ? hostpage_link(h) : NULL)) );
put these lines:
int count=0;
int i=0;
int j=0;
if (pagepath) {
    for (i=0; i<strlen(pagepath); i++){
        if (pagepath[i]=='/') { count++; }
    }
    if (count!=0){
        count=count/2;
        for (j=0; j<count; j++){
            strcat(urlimg,"../");
        }
    }
}
if (h->description) {
    char * os_name="";
    char * critical="";
    char testo2[40]="";
    char testo3[40]="";
    strcat(testo3,h->description);
    strcat(testo2,h->description);

    critical=strchr(testo2,':');
    if (critical){
      *critical=0;
      critical++;
    }
    os_name=strchr(testo3,':');
    if (os_name){
        *os_name=0;
    }
    os_name=testo3; 

    if (os_name) {
        fprintf(output, "%s%s.gif\" HEIGHT=\"26\" WIDTH=\"26\" ALIGN=\"middle\">    ",urlimg,os_name);
    }
    if (critical) {
        fprintf(output, "%s%s.gif\" HEIGHT=\"26\" WIDTH=\"26\" ALIGN=\"middle\">    ",urlimg,critical);
    }
}

I can vouch for the usefulness of an OS icon in the display.

1)  For many sites, there are Windows and Unix admins.  This helps
them know immediately to "call for help" or to try and login
themselves.

2)  Saw an issue that only affected RedHat Linux servers, but I did
not realize for a couple of weeks.  Once the OS icon feature went in,
the scope of the issue to RedHat was obvious.

I am thinking the OS might be known from the client, rather than
having to define it on the server.  But a manual configuration would
be nice, for devices that might be monitored, but without clients.

It's not an icon, but the "info" screen tells you the OS.  I assume this
is just the version of the client that was compiled and installed.  You
can also use the DESCR directive in the bb-hosts file to add a
description to the info screen.  You could also use the NAME directive
to add an OS indication to the display line.

I am in the process of writing an hb server side add-on script (learn from 
rootlogin.pl)  to do OS counting.
Ie, adapting "rootlogin" perl script do some OS counting from incoming bb 
messages stream.
hoping to get a page that can list out OS versions and subtotals of 
different OS that hobbit server currently monitored. There is no ETA for 
oscount.pl, it could be faster if my management push for it ;)

ps: I think ntop has some OS icons for hb community to reuse, if we really 
want to implement OS icons, I might need OS icons for my oscount.pl project

If you are using hobbit clients, you should be able to pull much of what
you want from hobbitdboard and bb clientlog.

bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=cpu fields=BBH_OS"|sort |uniq -c
      6
     11 linux
     66 sunos

To get more detail you can pull it with bb clientlog.

for i in `bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard fields=hostname" | sort -u`
do
   bb 127.0.0.1 "clientlog $i section=uname,osversion"
done
