<p />
<em>Programs on the TWiki server performing actions such as rendering, saving and renaming topics.</em>
<p />
The TWiki scripts are located in the <code>twiki/bin</code> and <code>twiki/tools</code> directories. This topic describes the interfaces to some of those scripts. All scripts in the <code>twiki/bin</code> directory can be called from the CGI (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface" target="_blank">Common Gateway Interface<img width="13" alt="" src="/twiki_outreach/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/external-link.gif" height="12" border="0" /></a>) environment or from the command line. The scripts in the <code>twiki/tools</code> directory can only be called from the command line.

<h3><a name="General_Information"></a> General Information </h3>
<p />
<a name="CgiEnvironment"></a>
<h4><a name="CGI_environment"></a> CGI environment </h4>
<p />
In the CGI environment parameters are passed to the scripts via the URL and URL parameters. Environment variables are also used to determine the user performing the action. If the environment is not set up, the default TWiki user is used (usually <code>guest</code>).
<p />
<a name="CommandLine"></a>
<h4><a name="Command_line"></a> Command-line </h4>
<p />
You <strong>must</strong> have the <code>twiki/bin</code> directory on the perl path to run the scripts from the command line. To avoid issues with file permissions, run the scripts as the web server user such as <code>nobody</code> or <code>www</code>.
<p />
Parameters are passed on the command line using '-name' - for example,
<pre>
$ cd /usr/local/twiki/bin
$ save -topic MyWeb.MyTopic -user admin -method POST -action save -text "New text of the topic"
</pre>
All parameters require a value, even if that is the empty string.
<p />
<a name="CommonParameters"></a>
<h4><a name="Common_parameters"></a> Common parameters </h4>
<p />
All the scripts accept a number of common parameters. The first two components of the URL after the script name are taken as the web and the topic, respectively. Standard URL parameters are:

The main difference between invoking this script and using <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/TWiki/WebChanges" class="twikiLink">WebChanges</a> is that <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/TWiki/WebChanges" class="twikiLink">WebChanges</a> is based on a <code>%SEARCH%</code>, while this script reads the <code>changes</code> file in each web, making it much faster.
<p />
<strong><em>Note:</em></strong> The result from <code>changes</code> script and the topic <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/TWiki/WebChanges" class="twikiLink">WebChanges</a> can be different, if the <code>changes</code> file is deleted from a web. In particular, in new installations the <code>changes</code> script will return no results while the <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/TWiki/WebChanges" class="twikiLink">WebChanges</a> topic will.

<a name="ConfigureScript"></a>
<h3><a name="configure"></a> <code>configure</code> </h3>
<p />
<code>configure</code> is the browser script used for inspection and configuration of the TWiki configuration. None of the parameters to this script are useable for any purpose except <code>configure</code>. See <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/configure" target="_top">configure</a>.

<a name="EditScript"></a>
<h3><a name="edit"></a> <code>edit</code> </h3>

This REST (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST" target="_blank">Representational State Transfer<img width="13" alt="" src="/twiki_outreach/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/external-link.gif" height="12" border="0" /></a>) script can be invoked via http in the same way as the other TWiki scripts (see <strong>Invocation Examples</strong>, below) to execute a function that is associated to a "subject" and a "verb" (see below). These functions are usually registered by plugins using the <code>TWiki::Func::registerRESTHandler</code> method. The <code>rest</code> script will print the result directly to the browser unless the <code>endPoint</code> parameter is specified, in which case it will output a redirect to the given topic.
<p />
The <code>rest</code> script supports the following parameters:
<table cellspacing="0" id="table19" cellpadding="0" class="twikiTable" rules="all" border="1">
<tr class="twikiTableOdd twikiTableRowdataBgSorted0 twikiTableRowdataBg0">

<p />
<strong><em><img src="/twiki_outreach/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/warning.gif" alt="ALERT!" title="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" border="0" /> Note:</em></strong> The <code>rest</code> script should <strong>always</strong> require authentication in any TWiki that has logins. Otherwise there is a risk of opening up major security holes. So make sure you add it to the list of authenticated scripts if you are using <code>ApacheLogin</code>.
<p />
<h4><a name="Invocation_Examples"></a> Invocation Examples </h4>
<p />
The <code>rest</code> script assumes that it will be called with URL in the form:
<p />
<code>http://my.host/bin/rest/<subject>/<verb></code>
<p />
where <code><subject></code> must be the <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/TWiki/WikiWord" class="twikiLink">WikiWord</a> name of one of the installed <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiPlugins" class="twikiLink">TWikiPlugins</a>, and the <code><verb></code> is the alias for the function registered using the <code>TWiki::Func::registerRESTHandler</code> method. The <code><subject></code> and <code><verb></code> are then used to lookup and call the registered function.
<p />
<code><subject></code> and <code><verb></code> are checked for illegal characters exactly in the same way as the web and topic names.
<p />
As an example, the <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/TWiki/EmptyPlugin" class="twikiLink">EmptyPlugin</a> has registered a function to be used with the <code>rest</code> script under the subject <strong>EmptyPlugin</strong> and the verb <strong>example</strong>. Click below to see the <code>rest</code> script in action (run as <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/Main/TWikiGuest" class="twikiLink">TWikiGuest</a>).

Note that for Plugins to register REST handlers, they must be enabled in <code>configure</code>.
<p />
<a name="SaveScript"></a>
<h3><a name="save"></a> <code>save</code> </h3>
<p />
The <code>save</code> script performs a range of save-related functions, as selected by the <code>action</code> parameter.

The parameters are interpreted in according to the following rules.
<p /> <ol>
<li> The first sequence of ten or more <code>X</code> characters in the topic name will be converted to a number such that the resulting topic name is unique in the target web.
</li> <li> When the action is <code>save</code>, <code>checkpoint</code>, <code>quietsave</code>, or <code>preview</code>: <ol>
<li> The new text is taken from the <code>text</code> parameter, if it is defined, <ul>

</li> <li> otherwise it is taken from the previous version of the topic, if any,
</li> <li> otherwise no form is attached.
</li></ul> 
</li> <li> The value for each field in the form is taken from the query, if it is defined <ul>
<li> otherwise it is taken from the <code>templatetopic</code>, if defined, (new topic <em>only</em>)
</li> <li> otherwise it is taken from the previous version of the topic, if any,

Merging is only enabled if the topic text comes from <code>text</code> and <code>originalrev</code> is > 0 and is not the same as the revision number of the most recent revision. If merging is enabled both the topic and the meta-data are merged.
<p />
Form field values are passed in parameters named 'field' - for example, if I have a field <code>Status</code> the parameter name is <code>Status</code>.

<p />
<img src="/twiki_outreach/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/warning.gif" alt="ALERT!" title="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" border="0" /> For historical reasons, the <code>view</code> script has a special interpretation of the <code>text</code> skin. In earlier TWiki versions the <code>skin=text</code> parameter was used like this:
<code>http://.../view/MyWeb/MyTopic?skin=text&contenttype=text/plain&raw=on</code>
which shows the topic as plain text; useful for those who want to download plain text for the topic.
Using <code>skin=text</code> this way is <strong>DEPRECATED</strong>, use <code>raw=text</code> instead.

<a name="ViewfileScript"></a>
<h3><a name="viewfile"></a> <code>viewfile</code> </h3>

Used for viewing attachments. Normally, a site will publish the attachments (<code>pub</code>) directory using a URL. However if it contains sensitive information, you will want to protect attachments using <a href="/twiki_outreach/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiAccessControl" class="twikiLink">TWikiAccessControls</a>. In this case, you can use the <code>viewfile</code> script to give access to attachments while still checking access controls.

<p />
Instead of using the <code>filename</code> parameter, you can append the attachment name
to the end of the URL path (after the topic) e.g. <code>https://sites.astro.caltech.edu/twiki_outreach/bin/viewfile/Webname/TopicName/Attachment.gif</code>
In that case, determining the attachment file name is non-trivial -- please consider a file name having multiple dots and a file name having no dots.
As such, the process of determining the file name is put on the debug log if <code>debug=1</code> URL parameter is supplied.

<p />
<a name="GeturlScript"></a>
<h3><a name="geturl_pl"></a> <code>geturl.pl</code> </h3>
<p />
This is a very simple script to get the content of a web site. It is marked as <em>deprecated</em> and might be removed (or enhanced) in a future TWiki release. Its functions are covered by the standard <code>wget</code> and <code>curl</code> commands. <ul>
<li> Usage:    <code>geturl.pl <host> <path> [<port> [<header>]]</code>
</li> <li> Example:  <code>geturl.pl some.domain /some/dir/file.html 80</code>
</li> <li> Will get: <code>http://some.domain:80/some/dir/file.html</code>
</li></ul> 
<p />
<a name="RewriteshebangScript"></a>
<h3><a name="rewriteshebang_pl"></a> <code>rewriteshebang.pl</code> </h3>
<p />
Simple script to rewrite the <code>#!/usr/bin/perl</code> shebang lines specific to your local Perl installation. It will rewrite the first line of all your TWiki cgi scripts so they use a different shebang line. Use it if your perl is in a non-standard location, or you want to use a different interpreter (such as 'speedy').
<p />
<a name="TickTwikiScript"></a>
<h3><a name="tick_twiki_pl"></a> <code>tick_twiki.pl</code> </h3>
<p />
This script executes a number of non-essential regular administration tasks that will help keep your TWiki healthy and happy, such as removing expired sessions and lease files.
<p />
It is intended to be run as a cron job or a scheduled task once a week. Example crontab entry:<br /> 
<code>0 0 * * 0 cd /usr/twiki/bin && perl ../tools/tick_twiki.pl</code>
<p />
<strong><em>Note:</em></strong> The script has to be run by a user who can write files created by the webserver user.
