<h1><a name="TWiki_CGI_and_Command_Line_Scrip"></a> TWiki CGI and Command Line Scripts </h1>
<p />
<em>Programs on the TWiki server performing actions such as rendering, saving and renaming topics.</em>
<p />
The TWiki scripts are located in the <code>twiki/bin</code> and <code>twiki/tools</code> directories. This topic describes the interfaces to some of those scripts. All scripts in the <code>twiki/bin</code> directory can be called from the CGI (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface" target="_top">Common Gateway Interface</a>) environment or from the command line. The scripts in the <code>twiki/tools</code> directory can only be called from the command line.
<p />
<h2><a name="CGI_Scripts"></a> CGI Scripts </h2>
Details on CGI scripts located in the <code>twiki/bin</code> directory.
<p />
<h3><a name="General_Information"></a> General Information </h3>
<h4><a name="CGI_environment"></a> CGI environment </h4>
In the CGI environment parameters are passed to the scripts via the URL and URL parameters. Environment variables are also used to determine the user performing the action. If the environment is not set up, the default TWiki user is used (usually <code>guest</code>).
<h4><a name="Command_line"></a> Command-line </h4>
You <strong>must</strong> be cd'd to the <code>twiki/bin</code> directory to run the scripts from the command line. To avoid issues with file permissions, run the scripts as the web server user such as <code>nobody</code> or <code>www</code>.
<p />
Parameters are passed on the command line using '-name' - for example,
<pre>
$ cd /usr/local/twiki/bin
$ save -topic MyWeb.MyTopic -user admin -action save -text "New text of the topic"
</pre>
All parameters require a value.
<p />
<h4><a name="Common_parameters"></a> Common parameters </h4>
All the scripts accept a number of common parameters. The first two components of the URL after the script name are taken as the web and the topic, respectively. Standard URL parameters are:

<h3><a name="attach"></a><a name="_attach_"></a> <code>attach</code> </h3>
Despite the name, this script doesn't actually attach a file to a topic - for that, use <code>upload</code>. This script is part of the transactions sequence executed when a file is uploaded from the browser. it just generates the "new attachment" page for a topic.

<h3><a name="changes"></a><a name="_changes_"></a> <code>changes</code> </h3>
Shows all the changes in the given web. 
<p />
The <code>changes</code> script can receive one parameter:
<p />
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" class="twikiTable" border="0"><tr><th bgcolor="#dadada" class="twikiFirstCol"> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://wiki.party.at/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiScripts?template=edit&amp;sortcol=0;table=3;up=0#sorted_table" title="Sort by this column"><font color="#000000">Parameter</font></a> </th><th bgcolor="#dadada"> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://wiki.party.at/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiScripts?template=edit&amp;sortcol=1;table=3;up=0#sorted_table" title="Sort by this column"><font color="#000000">Description</font></a> </th><th bgcolor="#dadada"> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://wiki.party.at/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiScripts?template=edit&amp;sortcol=2;table=3;up=0#sorted_table" title="Sort by this column"><font color="#000000">Default</font></a> </th></tr>

</table>
<p />
The main difference between invoking this script and using <a href="/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/WebChanges" class="twikiLink">WebChanges</a> is that <a href="/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/WebChanges" class="twikiLink">WebChanges</a> is based on a <code>%SEARCH%</code>, while this script reads the <code>changes</code> file in each web, making it much faster.
<p />
<strong>NOTE</strong>: The result from <code>changes</code> script and the topic <a href="/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/WebChanges" class="twikiLink">WebChanges</a> can be different, if the <code>changes</code> file is deleted from a web. In particular, in new installations the <code>changes</code> script will return no results while the <a href="/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/WebChanges" class="twikiLink">WebChanges</a> topic will.
<p />
<h3><a name="configure"></a><a name="_configure_"></a> <code>configure</code> </h3>
<code>configure</code> is the browser script used for inspection and configuration of the TWiki configuration. None of the parameters to this script are useable for any purpose except <code>configure</code>.
<p />
<h3><a name="edit"></a><a name="_edit_"></a> <code>edit</code> </h3>
The <code>edit</code> scipt understands the following parameters, typically supplied by HTML input fields:

Form field values are passed in parameters named 'field' - for example, if I have a field <code>Status</code> the parameter name is <code>Status</code>. <ol>
<li> The first sequence of ten or more <code>X</code> characters in the topic name will be converted on save to a number such that the resulting topic name is unique in the target web.
</li></ol> 
<p />
NOTE: most skins support the definition of <code>EDIT_SKIN</code>, which is used as the value of the <code>cover</code> parameter in <code>edit</code> URLs. This allows you to override the default edit skin on a web, topic or user basis.
<p />
<h3><a name="login"></a><a name="_login_"></a> <code>login</code> </h3>
Used for logging in when TWiki login is being used (e.g TemplateLoginManager).

<h3><a name="logon"></a><a name="_logon_"></a> <code>logon</code> </h3>
Used for logging in when Web Server authentication is being used (e.g. ApacheLoginManager). The script does nothing; it is purely a placeholder for triggering the login process. The webserver will be set up to require a valid user to access this script, thus triggering the webserver login process.
<p />
<h3><a name="manage"></a><a name="_manage_"></a> <code>manage</code> </h3>
Performs a range of management functions.

<code>oops</code> templates are used with the <code>oops</code> script to generate system messages. This is done to make internationalisation or other local customisations simple. 
<p />
The <code>oops</code> script supports the following parameters:

<h3><a name="rest"></a><a name="_rest_"></a> <code>rest</code> </h3>
This REST (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST" target="_top">Representational State Transfer</a>) script can be invoked via http in a similar way as the view script (see <strong>Invocation Examples</strong>, below) to execute a function that is associated to a "subject" and a "verb" (see below). It'll print the result directly to the stream unless the <code>endPoint</code> parameter is specified, in which case the control is redirected to the given topic.
<p />
The <code>rest</code> script itself uses one parameter:
<p />
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" class="twikiTable" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#eaeaea" class="twikiFirstCol"> <code>endPoint</code> </td><td bgcolor="#eaeaea"> Where to redirect the response once the request is served, in the form "Web.Topic" </td></tr>
</table>
<p />
Any additional parameters are passed directly to the function (i.e: The function can get any other parameter using the CGI $query object)
<p />
<h4><a name="Invocation_Examples"></a> Invocation Examples </h4>
<p />
The <code>rest</code> script assumes that it will be called with URL in the form:
<p />
<code>http://my.host/bin/rest/<subject>/<verb></code>
<p />
where <code><subject></code> must be the <a href="/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/WikiWord" class="twikiLink">WikiWord</a> name of one of the installed <a href="/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiPlugins" class="twikiLink">TWikiPlugins</a>, and the <code><verb></code> is the alias for the function registered using the <code>registerRESTHandler</code>. The <code><subject></code> and <code><verb></code> are then used to lookup and call the registered function.
<p />
Functions outside the Plugins also can be registered, but please consider the security implications of allowing URL access, as functions can sidestep TWiki Authentication & Authorisation settings.
<p />
<code><subject></code> and <code><verb></code> are checked for illegal characters exactly in the same way as the web and topic names.
<p />
As an example, the <a href="/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/EmptyPlugin" class="twikiLink">EmptyPlugin</a> has registered a function to be used with the <code>rest</code> script under the subject <strong>EmptyPlugin</strong> and the verb <strong>example</strong>. Click below to see the <code>rest</code> script in action (run as <a href="/twiki/bin/view/Main/TWikiGuest" class="twikiLink">TWikiGuest</a>).
<p />
<a href="https://wiki.party.at/twiki/bin/rest/EmptyPlugin/example?debugenableplugin=EmptyPlugin" target="_top">Call the Plugin</a>
<p />
You can also call the function from the command line, but this will be run as the <a href="/twiki/bin/view/Main/TWikiAdminGroup" class="twikiLink">TWikiAdminGroup</a> (as it is assumed that shell access is secure) - eg: <pre>./rest EmptyPlugin.example</pre>
<p />
Note that for calls to Plugins, they must be enabled in <code>configure</code>.
<p />
<h3><a name="save"></a><a name="_save_"></a> <code>save</code> </h3>
The <code>save</code> script performs a range of save-related functions, as selected by the <code>action</code> parameter.

The parameters are interpreted in according to the following rules.
<p /> <ol>
<li> The first sequence of ten or more <code>X</code> characters in the topic name will be converted to a number such that the resulting topic name is unique in the target web.
</li> <li> When the action is <code>save</code>, <code>checkpoint</code>, <code>quietsave</code>, or <code>preview</code>: <ol>
<li> The new text is taken from the <code>text</code> parameter, if it is defined, <ul>
<li> otherwise it is taken from the <code>templatetopic</code>, if it is defined,
</li> <li> otherwise it is taken from the previous version of the topic, if any,

<li> otherwise it is taken from the <code>templatetopic</code>, if defined,
</li> <li> otherwise it is taken from the previous version of the topic, if any,
</li> <li> otherwise no form is attached.

<li> otherwise it is taken from the <code>templatetopic</code>, if defined,

<p />
Merging is only enabled if the topic text comes from <code>text</code> and <code>originalrev</code> is > 0 and is not the same as the revision number of the most recent revision. If merging is enabled both the topic and the meta-data are merged.
<p />
Form field values are passed in parameters named 'field' - for example, if I have a field <code>Status</code> the parameter name is <code>Status</code>.

<p />
<img src="/twiki/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/warning.gif" alt="ALERT!" title="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" border="0" /> For historical reasons, the view script has a special interpretation of the <code>text</code> skin. In earlier TWiki versions the <code>skin=text</code> parameter was used like this:
<code>http://.../view/MyWeb/MyTopic?skin=text&contenttype=text/plain&raw=on</code>
which shows the topic as plain text; useful for those who want to download plain text for the topic.
Using <code>skin=text</code> this way is <strong>DEPRECATED</strong>, use <code>raw=text</code> instead.
<p />
<h3><a name="viewfile"></a><a name="_viewfile_"></a> <code>viewfile</code> </h3>
Used for viewing attachments. Normally, a site will publish the attachments (<code>pub</code>) directory using a URL. However if it contains sensitive information, you will want to protect attachments using <a href="/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiAccessControl" class="twikiLink">TWikiAccessControls</a>. In this case, you can use the <code>viewfile</code> script to give access to attachments while still checking access controls.

<h2><a name="Command_Line_Scripts"></a> Command Line Scripts </h2>
Details on command line scripts located in the <code>twiki/tools</code> directory.
<p />
<h3><a name="geturl_pl"></a><a name="_geturl_pl_"></a> <code>geturl.pl</code> </h3>
This is a very simple script to get the content of a web site. It is marked as <em>deprecated</em> and might be removed (or enhanced) in a future TWiki release. Its functions are covered by the standard <code>wget</code> and <code>curl</code> commands. <ul>
<li> Usage:    <code>geturl <host> <path> [<port> [<header>]]</code>
</li> <li> Example:  <code>geturl some.domain /some/dir/file.html 80</code>
</li> <li> Will get: <code>http://some.domain:80/some/dir/file.html</code>
</li></ul> 
<p />
<h3><a name="rewriteshebang_pl"></a><a name="_rewriteshebang_pl_"></a> <code>rewriteshebang.pl</code> </h3>
Simple script to rewrite the <code>#!/usr/bin/perl</code> shebang lines specific to your local Perl installation. It will rewrite the first line of all your TWiki cgi scripts so they use a different shebang line. Use it if your perl is in a non-standard location, or you want to use a different interpreter (such as 'speedy').
<p />
<h3><a name="tick_twiki_pl"></a><a name="_tick_twiki_pl_"></a> <code>tick_twiki.pl</code> </h3>
This script executes a number of non-essential regular administration tasks that will help keep your TWiki healthy and happy, such as removing expired sessions and lease files.
<p />
It is intended to be run as a cron job or a scheduled task once a week. Example crontab entry:<br />
<code>0 0 * * 0 cd /usr/twiki/bin && perl ../tools/tick_twiki.pl</code>
<p />
<strong><em>Note:</em></strong> The script has to be run by a user who can write files created by the webserver user.
<p />
