[Summary-Talk] programmatic method of calling /DOTOOLS?

[Greg Swallow <gswallow@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In my continued backwards methodology of using this software, I wondered 
if there's a way I can call the /DOTOOLS URL that summary serves with 
curl?

What I'm doing is this:

- automatically scp all logs from outside-the-firewall cache servers to 
an inside-the-firewall logs crunching system.
- automatically scp error logs from my origin server to the logs 
crunching system.
- automatically move all logs that didn't belong to the last month to a 
holding area.
- curl http://stats.ai.org/Process.

At this point, I'd like to curl http://stats.ai.org/DOTOOLS, supplying 
static=Write%20Static%20Reports in my POST request.  However, all 
DOTOOLS gives me is an "invalid arguments supplied to DOTOOLS!" error.

The commands I've tried are:

curl -u username:password -d static=Write%20Static%20Reports 
http://stats.ai.org/DOTOOLS

curl -u username:password -F static=Write%20Static%20Reports 
http://stats.ai.org/DOTOOLS

This is the *only* part that doesn't work.  The rest is just supplied 
for contextual purposes.

- wait for the process to end; when it has, zip up the static reports 
and put them in our "public" statistics area.
- generate a list of the top 40 state agencies and send an e-mail to 
company marketing staff.
- create ISO images of the archivable, crunched logs for permanent 
storage on CD-R, and remove the actual logfiles.
- email the sysadmin (me), stating everything is OK, and that CD's may 
be burned.

Yes, I know this is probably a very backwards way of going about things, 
but I'm persistent in doing it this way, rather than just incrementally 
processing logs.  I have no idea why :)
