NAME
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi - Hobbit CGI script to acknowledge alerts
 
SYNOPSIS
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi
 
DESCRIPTION
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the 
hobbit-ackinfo.sh CGI wrapper.
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is used to acknowledge an alert on the Hobbit
"Critical Systems" view, generated by the
hobbit-nkview.cgi(1)
utility. This allows the staff viewing the Critical Systems view to 
acknowledge alerts with a "Level 1" alert, thereby removing the
alert from the Critical Systems view.
Note that the Level 1 alert generated by the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi
utility does NOT stop alerts from being sent.
In a future version of Hobbit (after Hobbit 4.2), this utility
will also be used for acknowledging alerts at other levels.
 
OPTIONS

level of the acknowledgment, e.g. a level 1 acknowledge when called from the
Critical Systems view.
 
- --validity=TIME
- 
Sets the validity of the acknowledgment. By default this is taken from the
CGI parameters supplied by the user.

from the loginname of the webuser sending the acknowledgment.
 
- --env=FILENAME
- 
Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.
 
- --area=NAME
- 
Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used,
this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.

- 
Enables debugging output.
