HTML: post online/offline in html code?

Xeratul · 08-11-2012, 12:51 AM

Hi,

I am intending to say that I am available on my site, on a given ftp provider. My pages are only html based, and no php is used.

Would you have any hints / ideas how to upload or make my site know that I am online/offline?

Not using wput or ftp

thx

When you say 'I am available on my site', what do you mean by this? That you (a flesh-and-blood person) are doing something that makes you accessible vi the internet? What exactly constitutes 'online/offline'?
And you want to have a web page which reflects the state of your 'online-ness'? And you want the web page to do this without using PHP? What is the relationship between the web server and the 'ftp provider'?

What exactly constitutes 'online/offline'?

general, i m at available close to pc. i will do lirc to start it

And you want to have a web page which reflects the state of your 'online-ness'?

a gif or a msg plain text on my html

And you want the web page to do this without using PHP?
- no php desired to do such feature

What is the relationship between the web server and the 'ftp provider'?

ftp provider is a regular web provider. likely i wanna no scp nor wput use if posssible

for ex , pure curl to say my site that i m available desired

Okay, then use bash to create a CGI. For example:

Code:

#! /bin/bash
# isXeratulOnline.sh
#
/usr/bin/w | /bin/grep Xeratul
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
    cat some/Html/Header/File.html 
    echo "Not online" 
    cat some/Html/Trailer/File.html
else 
    cat some/Html/Header/File.html
    echo Online 
    cat some/Html/Trailer/File.html
fi

(left as an exercise to the reader to compose the header and trailer HTML files)
The script would have to be installed in the cgi-bin directory of your web server. Browsers would access the URL as

Code:

http://your.web.server/cgi-bin/isXeratulOnline.sh

It would tell people that you are logged into the server host.
