Hi John, Roberts and crew,

I've been tinkering with a little bash script that writes a valid XHTML 1.0 Strict weblog. I think I've mentioned it here before. Anyways, if anyone's interested you can get the tarball at:

http://grimthing.com/downloads/bblog-0.3.2.tar.gz

It doesn't require PHP, SSI, python or any special webserver configuration. Just bash (ash?) and a few standard gnutils.

You can check out the demo site at:

UPDATE: for anybody who's downloaded 0.3.2 lately and been frustrated with it. It's been fixed. Remeber kids, friends don't let friends code at 4 in the morning.

Can this be installed from the MyDSL menu if I include the .tar.gz included on my DSL remaster CD?

Hi Grim,

This is very nice. I like to see those of us who push bash shell to the limits. I am amazed at how Klaus Knopper uses bash in Knoppix. Then what we do here with damnsmall using bash. And now to see a blog written in bash. Cool. Nice work.

No. This is not a DSL extension. He made this for general distribution. Note: He does mention an installer bug on his website.

I was able to make it work, by manually editing the bblog.conf file.

I unpacked it into home directory, and used /opt/monkey/htdocs as the target directory in the setup script which I ran as root. It did not require a writeable structure. It ran fine on the liveCD.
So, then you add /opt/monkey.htdocs to your filetool.lst and there you have it.

Hi Grim,
thanks for the neat prog.
I just downloaded it and set it up like Roberts above.

Feedback:-
* The bblog.conf still needs reconfiguring even after answering all the questions in the setup??
* The bblog.conf needed to be made readable and writeable or it came up with a message like "bblog.conf not found - rerun setup"

The more I play around with it the more I like it

Cheers
rob
