inserting command output in specific html table

aristosv · 04-05-2016, 11:57 PM

I use the following commands in a bash script, to output the CPU and disk usage on a computer.

I would like to import this output directly in an HTML file with tables.

How can I get the ouput of these commands to go in a specific table, as shown in the HTML code below?

Code:

echo $[100-$(vmstat|tail -1|awk '{print $15}')]'%'
df -h /dev/sda1 | awk 'NR>1{print $5}'

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Report</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
	<tr>
		<td></td>
		<td>CPU Usage</td>
		<td>Disk Usage</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Computer1</td>
		<td></td>
		<td></td>
	</tr>
	</table>

</body>
</html>

are you asking how to write a shell script that will produce an html file with the desired output?
or do you want to use this as a live web page?

the former is trivial, the latter will require server-side scripting, most probably php.
there's ample php documentation, tutorials and whatnot in the wild, wild web.
