Pardon me if I'm posting to the wrong area. I've been tasked with developing a web application which gives folks who aren't familiar with UNIX access to re-run scripts and view ftp and error logs for scripts which are kicked off by the AIX crontab. It's been a while since I made a webpage...the last being made with cherrypy like 7 years ago.
I'd like to create a page with a tab for each script, showing the times it runs, a calendar control to have the script run using a different date than today's date, a button to re-run the script, and an area to show ftp, error logs, and probably a listing of a directory to view what files have been received. Would I use a web designer to create the page template (fields, controls, etc) and refer to it within the web2py application, programmatically modifying as needed? Or would I create the page in web2py somehow? I was thinking I'd do a listing of the crontab to know how many tabs to create and grab other necessary info like times and script names. I'm sorry for needing such elementary help. It seems there are a lot of paths to web design these days and I'm kinda over whelmed on what's the easiest way to accomplish my task. I am familiar with python which is why I chose web2py. Thanks for any help. Allen
