Hello,I am trying to develop a patch that hel=
ps me to hide certain hostgroups from the status cgi. I thought of somethin=
g like adding a "shouldnotseeme-" prefix to the hostgroup alias:def=
ine hostgroup {        hostgroup=5Fn=
ame  shown        alias &n=
bsp;           &nbsp=
;    This Host Group will be displayed   =
     members       &=
nbsp;    host1,host2,host3     =
   }define hostgroup {
        hostgroup=5Fname  not-shown=

        alias    &nb=
sp;            =
shouldnotseeme-This Host Group will not be displayed
        members    &=
nbsp;       host3,host4,host5
        }
First of all I must admit I am no C programmer. I had a look=
at the status.c source file. Around line 3090 I found a procedure show=5Fh=
ostgroup=5Foverview. Now I'd like to simply check there if hstgrp->alias=
contains the string "shouldnotseeme-"Unfortunally I do not know how to=
do this. With PHP I think it would look like this:  =
  if (strstr($hstgrp->alias, "shouldnotseeme-") !=3D FALSE)&nbs=
p;   {        // don't show thi=
s one        ..    }But I have no idea how to write this in C Can someone point me in =
the right direction. Do you think this will work at all? Gruess=
