| Post subject: | Automatically generate the export CSV file |
Hi Steve, Great stuff your doing here, I have a requirement for the company that I'm working for to have a Unix shell script automatically generate the export.csv file that is generated from your perl app. I tried to invoke the link that is attached to the Export button using the unix wget command but it obviously didn't work. I don't believe the wget utility can invoike cgi scripts. The ultimate goal would be to export the file for a specific graph and transfer it to a remote location where another application would parse it, then perform calculations on specific values and then place the required values into a mysql database. If you know how I can get that export file generated or perhaps a simpler way to achieve my goal described above it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help in advance.

1. Use the web browser to find the appropriate URL to obtain the CSV you're after. 2. Pass this URL to wget -- you may also need to include authentication information if you're running with web server authentication. |
