Hi all,

Quick question, does anyone know how to get /usr/bin/mailq output to display in a browser. Basicaly i wrote some code that runs mailq, and displays the output to a browser, i am currently wrighting some simular code (off site) and do not have the original file to work from, so if anyone has, or knows the basic code to do this ( i know its simple, i just cant get it to work right now) please, please, please can you supply the full code, from #!/usr/bin/perl to END_HTML or what ever method you choose.

Again, i know this is simple and can be done with about 5 lines of code, but my brain is like cabage today!

I think this will do it. It may need some minor tweaking (like the path to mailq perhaps).

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

open(MAILQ, &quot;mailq|&quot;);
@mailq = <MAILQ>;
close MAILQ;

print <<END;
Content-type: text/html

<html>
<head>
<title>MAILQ Output</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>MAILQ Output</h2>
<pre>
END
print @mailq;
print <<END;
</pre>
</body>
</html>
END
exit 0;
1;
