I sent a response to this request for further information, a few days ago.
I am resending to make sure that you go it. Here is the example you
requested.
____________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________
#! /bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html" # begin WEB Page initialization
echo ""
echo "<HTML><HEAD>" # begin header
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT=300>" # refresh the Page every 300
seconds, (5 minutes)
echo "<TITLE>Port Statuses</TITLE>" # set the "TITLE" label
echo "</HEAD><BODY>" # end of header, begin page
body
echo "<b><FONT SIZE=4>DEVICE <FONT COLOR="red" SIZE=3>Port Statuses
</FONT></b><br>" # add page heading
ctr=0
echo "Counter at $ctr<br>"
ctr=`expr $ctr + 1` # add 1 to variable counter
echo "Counter at $ctr<br>"
echo "</BODY></HTML>"

I have also noticed that the "sort" command seems to produce the same
results. That is, a variable contains nothing after being run through a
standard sort. When a command is piped through a sort, the variable is
empty. If the sort is removed and the rest of the command is left the same,
the output is normal. This behavior is not noted when the script is run
under a normal shell in UNIX.
Thanks for your help.

State-Changed-Why:
Please give a full example of the most basic shell script
that doesn't work as you think it should. It is _very_
unlikely that this has anything to do with Apache.
