If you want to monitor the client-side tests (cpu; disk; procs and
msgs) then yes.

That loop is processing the parameters which are supplied to the CGI.
The "shift" command shouldn't be able to run out of input within that
loop. The first thing to confirm might be the URL that's being used
to call the script. You should see a line in your apache access_log
which looks like:

  "GET /cgi-bin/bb-rep.sh?start-mon=Dec&start-day=1&start-yr=2005&
  end-mon=Dec&end-day=31&end-yr=2005&style=crit&SUB=Generate+Report
  HTTP/1.1"

That might indicate a more general problem. Do you have any
filesystems that are full or running out of inodes? Which shell
binary is the script using?

Did the "bbconfig" step of the install correctly identify the OS?
It might be better to try a clean install before attempting to debug
this. It would also be useful to know what version of Solaris you
are using.

Cheers, Phil.
