+<h2><a NAME="custom-actionbar"></a>Customized Action Bar</h2>
+The Action Bar of the Host and Service Status Displays (see the
+<a href="user-guide.html">User Guide</a> for more details) can be customized
+with the <a href="spong_conf.html#custom-actionbar"><b>$WWW_ACTIONBAR_CUSTOM
+</b></a> configuration parameter. Any HTML code defined in this parameter
+will be included on the end of the Action Bars.
+
+<p>This parameter is preprocessed
+with <i>eval</i> before the contents are printed. This allows you to
+include complex perl variables or perl code. Because of the <i>eval</i> you
+should use single quotes to enclose the contents of this parameter. This
+will prevent premature evaluation of perl variables before the preprocessing.
+
+<p>If your do not need this customization, just leave
+<b>$WWW_ACTIONBAR_CUSTOM</b> undefined. Nothing will be added to the Action Bars.
+

<h2>

The default of the spong-server is to not allow auto-refreshes if <b><a href="spong_conf.html#www-refresh-allow">@WWW_REFRESH_ALLOW</a></b>
being displayed. for more information on this feature, please see the <a href="admin-guide.html#custom-contacts">Administrator

+This parameter can be used to customize the Host/Service displays Action Bar
+of the Web Interface. Any HTML code in this parameter will be included on
+the Web Pages when they are displayed. This parameter is preprocessed by

+perl variables and simple Perl code in this parameter. NOTE: Use single

-<h1>Spong v1.1 - Todo List</h1>\r\r
-<hr>\r\r
-\r\r
-Here are the features/changes that I want to make to spong. They are in no\r\r
-particular order, but I will probably be working on the things at the top of\r\r
-this list before I get to the ones on the bottom. If you have any suggestions\r\r
-or comments, send email to <a\r\r
-href="mailto:ed-hill@uiowa.edu">ed-hill@uiowa.edu</a>. I have no specific time\r\r
-schedule in mind for implementing this list. Spong is now a night-time\r\r
-project, so I get to this things when I can.<p>\r\r
-\r\r
-I have put *'s next to the items that I am currently working on - or have\r\r
-completed in cased you are curious about my progress.<p>\r\r
-\r\r
-<ul>\r\r
-<li>(*) Rework some of the design of spong to make things more object oriented.\r\r
-The first version of spong was basically a port of BB, version 2.0 will be\r\r
-different. This will allow me to more easily integrate new features over time.\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>(*) Add nfs (and other rpc based services) to spong-network (using the\r\r
-rpcinfo command).\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>Client support (spong-client) for NT\r\r
-<li>Server support (spong-server, spong-network, spong-display) support for NT\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>(*) Provide different interfaces (currently only web - provide a PerlTk,\r\r
-and a terminal based interface).\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>Provide the ability to view spong information (run the spong, tkspong, and\r\r
-wwwspong (currently known as spong-display) programs from machines other then\r\r
-the spong server).\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>(*) Redo the web based spong-display to make it more extensible\r\r
-<ul>\r\r
-<li>Allow people to easily put the spong-server CGI program in /cgi-bin/\r\r
-<li>Allow people to easily define their own interfaces\r\r
-<li>Allow people to easily include parts of spong-display.cgi output in\r\r
-other pages\r\r
-<li>Allow for multiple views (table, network diagram, simple host summary\r\r
-with drill down for more specific information)\r\r
-<li>Handle groups better.\r\r
-\r\r
-</ul>\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>Provide a rules based solution to sending pages - this will allow people to\r\r
-specify whatever rules they want for sending pages when there are problems.\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>(*) Add acknowledgements - so that you can say that you know a service is\r\r
-red - and that you don't want paged about it. You can also add some text so\r\r
-that others reading spong can have an idea what the problem is, and know\r\r
-someone is working on it.\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>Make spong-network more parallel, have it perform checks from a pool of\r\r
-children, that way if a system can not be pinged - it will not slow up the rest\r\r
-of the checks.\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>Make spong-network check more often on hosts that do not respond on the\r\r
-first try\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>Optimize the communication between client and server - by pipelining\r\r
-reports through a single channel and perhaps compressing the data before\r\r
-sending it.\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>Fix the log file checking - make it smarter.\r\r
-\r\r
-<li>Make it so that you can click on a host and find out status, history, \r\r
-configuration (inventory), and statistics. (starting to branch out).\r\r
-<ul>\r\r
-<li>Integrate my gstats (statistics collection) program. "spong-stats"\r\r
-<li>Add an inventory/configuration module. "spong-config"\r\r
-</ul>\r\r
-</ul>\r\r
