Programming and Scripting :: mkindexhtml.sh with nweb httpd

All right!

I think everybody can can find out the idea from source:

Code Sample

#!/bin/bash

# mkindexhtml.sh v0.1.4b - Creates index.html file containing links to files it finds.
# handy with nweb httpd. http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/library/es-nweb.html

Nice? But needs few things to be even more neat: nweb httpd and one line of extra code to run both, the script and the server:

Code Sample

killall nweb 2> /dev/null; ./mkindexhtml.sh <dir to share> <max cols> && <path to nweb> <port> <dir to share>

You can make it more simple by creating a sctipt from it like this (change paths!):

Code Sample

#!/bin/bash

killall nweb 2> /dev/null; /home/dsl/mkindexhtml.sh $1 5 && /home/dsl/nweb/nweb 8000 $1

See? Only 'directory to share' must be specified. Neat.

What's the use? Well you can rapidly share your files without much configration.
And changing shared directory isn't hard if you use the 'launch script'.
Here's my server running it.

D0h! Again I forgot that there's a statement such as case. Oh well. Until next update...

Update:

As you seemed enough curious to look for html source, here's some details about mkindexhtml.sh:

Licence:
$LICENCE

In a simple way: It's free.
Some versions I make are not posted to public.
- Why?
Because I want to publish only good versions of this program.
Anyway you can still contact me if you want your copy of mkindexhtml.sh.

Currently I publish mkindexhtml.sh only at Damn Small Linux board:
