Hi @<~duriny https://envs.net/~duriny/twtxt.txt> may I ask you how you have done that fortune output on your website? Thanks

@carsten I am guessing some server side CGI, possibly just shell, or PHP. But almost sure shell.

@david Got it! I was getting 127 as return code, command note found, using full path for fortune (/usr/games/fortune) did the trick. Now it works.

@carsten Using zs or mkws or some other static site generator (SSg)? 🤔

@carsten Really simple with just pp or https://mkws.sh, check it out https://mkws.sh/pp.html

Personally I think <!--#include virtual=cgi-bin/fortune.sh--> is the simplest, but I'm an envs.neter, I'm clearly biased :D

@<~duriny https://envs.net/~duriny/twtxt.txt> But you're serving as CGI. 😁

But! You could also run pp under CGI!

pp as in the perl compiler/packager thingy? Yeah you can run any shell script in a server side CGI, as long as the permissions and PATH are all correct. Although envs.net already supports perl for CGI, so you could just use <!--#include virtual="cgi-bin/foo.pl" --> rather than calling pp
