I have an existing Remedy ticket generation system for Big Brother that I'm trying to convert to Hobbit. Basically, I had added some code to dohostsvc.c for an additional button next to HISTORY:
sprintf(dataline,"<td><FORM ACTION=\"%s/bb-ticket.sh\"><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=\"Open Ticket\"><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=\"ACKFILE\" VALUE=\"%s\"><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=\"TIMEBUF\" VALUE=\"%s\"></FORM></td>\n",cgibinurl,filename,logtime);
strcat(hostsvcdata,dataline);
This passed the form data to a shell cgi script, and from there I was able to grab whatever data I needed from the history logs. If someone even wanted to open a ticket on a historical event, they could, because the TIMEBUF always pointed to the correct event log.
Now, I see the part in htmllog.c that creates the historybutton(), but I can't see where I might be able to grab the TIMEBUF from. I tried an xgetenv("TIMEBUF") but no luck. Any other way I can get the timestamp?
