I  noticed that your still using using :
query=$( $HEAD --bytes="$CONTENT_LENGTH" )
Which is not portable at all.  (its GNU/ linux only)
Rather than :
      read -n $CONTENT_LENGTH query
Is thre any reason NOT to use the read ? Have not tested 0.1.1 but saw that its in there.

Also you  should note that #!  must be changed to a   GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)  + compatable sh.
ON unix system /bin/sh is either a basic bourne shell or a posix enhanced boure.

Thanks for you effort!  I very happy with the veiw graph script; it will please my users.  The log view is nice but
IM usualy on  the hobbit sever anyway.  Have not tried the rest , ive no pressing need for it any  else and it looks like
it could damage  stuff. The chhostservice.sh     script would be handy for me and I maybe thats the next one for me to test  but IM hoping that
Henrik  (hint hint!)   can intergrate it into hobbit particularly  on the  enable/disable Maintenance page.
I think most of frame work is already there for it.  Note it would be nice is the delete test/host  would log some where!

No, i think i forgot it to change, or can't remeber way i used the old one. In view Logs i have tested it, i think, because there was both posibilites in it (one with uncommented)

sorry i can't follow you. What it is to do for unix compatibility?

yes it could but i think not to mutch ;-). I'm  allways on our server too, but i think its mutch comfortable to do it with my Browser.

Yes that was a fine thing. Eventuell he can integrade my packet if it was stable enough.

Ok this is a good idea for next one.

/bin/sh on your box is actual bash I think.  I bet if you look  its a link
to /bin/bash !  ON most unix (not linux) systems /bin/sh is bourne shell;
if you're lucky its a posix compliant one.  Your scripts will not run correctly
on such systems. As a matter of fact 
 bash, version 2.03.0(1) will NOT work
While:
bash, version 2.05.0(1)
Will work.
So not only are they bash dependent  but bash version depended!

Ok I LOOKED  at some of the other script and found that the date command  is linux/gnu date not the date solaris uses.
No problem for me since I have gnu date.

All the above need only be listed  in  either README or KNOWN PROBLEMS
