These comments are based on what happens on CCN, not frugal, but I assume
the latter are based on the former.

I assume this invokes the cs-ls (or is it cs_ls) script, which was
prepared by Andrew a while ago. The purpose of the script is to provide
access to user accounts home and mail directories through Lynx, to do ls,
df, etc. for those who need such things but do not have shell access.
At this point those are the only functions included in that script, so
the heading, although minimal, tells what it does. Note that it does not
allow the user to view contents of any files, only directories.
I think it might be appropriate to design a more general purpose script,
to support appropriate privileged volunteers, but that probably should
wait to "after 1.0"
There is a corresponding script that gives access to host and traceroute,
which is not totally functional. lynxcgi-bin/network
Problems - The host function does not allow selection
of type of records, or making the request of a specific nameserver.
Ideally the first display could have the names of the nameservers made
into live links to recall the script with two arguments - the script
input variable, as before, followed by the NS hostname
(i.e. it should generate, for example a link which would execute the
command
host -t any chebucto.ns.ca snoopy.ucis.dal.ca
to get the particulars that snoopy knows about chebucto, and not just
what happens to be in chebucto's cache.)
- The traceroute executes to a blank screen until it reaches the hop
limit, (which can take ten minutes) rather than displaying the results as it
goes. Also there does not seem to be anyway to stop it, either with
(preferred) or without displaying the results.
So in answer to your original question, the bookmark to cs_ls probably
should be renamed, but the other function should be there too.
