I posted this once and I have not seen it appear yet. Apologies if
the original turns up too.
 
If you are using BBLOGSTATUS="STATIC", the page for an individual
test is created by the BB daemon process. The code is in the
dohostsvc.c file in the "src" directory. If, on the other hand,
you are using BBLOGSTATUS="DYNAMIC", the page is created by the
bb-hostsvc.sh script in your "cgi-bin" directory. As standard,
both will use the files hostsvc_header and hostsvc_footer in
the "web" directory.

I would expect that modifying these files would be sufficient for
standard tests and well behaved external scripts. Some scripts,
however, can include HTML in their status reports and that might
affect formatting.

If the problem is limited to "vmio", it would be helpful to know
what is being used to collect that data and how the status logs
files are formatted.

Cheers, Phil.
