Minor patch for statuswml.cgi

[Marcus Fleige]

Hi List, hi Ethan,

once again i have a small cosmetic change which fits perfectly to my 
lazyness during on-call schedule times. ;-)

What does it do?

Actually, it sets default values for the acknowledgement dialogs.


Ok. Why?

If you are notified by Short Message at night, it is obvious to have a 
first look at the problem via the WAP interface. If you find the problem 
unworthy being handled at night, you can directly acknowledge it and 
have a closer look at it the next morning. At this point you realize 
there is nothing more annoying than typing your Name and a comment into 
a dialog with the help of your mobile phone's keys.

Normally, when you access the nagios frontend via wml (WAP), you ideally 
authenticate against the webservers htaccess config before you view 
unhandled problems etc. If you want to achknowledge a service or host 
problem, you have to fill two fields of information: Author and comment.

The patch fills the 'com_author' value with the username you 
authenticated as. Additionally, it defaults the comment field to 
'acknowledged by WAP'. So, all you have to do is press the OK-Button and 
the problem is ack'ed. Optionally, you still can input a more meaningful 
comment or another author name.


I hope this is useful for someone. Feedback welcome! ;-)


Regards,

Marcus Fleige
