Web Content Creation Support

Content Creation Tool This tool is used to create "orthodox" content for the CSE web. AKA "content-tool.cgi". Also see CSE Web Page Authoring, which describes how to create and maintain standardized ("orthodox") CSE web pages and covers other related topics. (The content creation tool is just one part of the picture.)
W3C Link Checker This CGI script is just a copy of the one served from the World Wide Web Consortium site, but operates from www.cs.washington.edu and therefore can access some web documents that tools run from external sites cannot.
Link Sleuth Link Sleuth is a Win32 program that does a very fast and comprehensive verification of links in a web tree. This document explains how to install and use both Link Sleuth and a related tool that helps find "orphans." [See also CSE Link Checker, a CGI that, given a URL, checks the corresponding document for broken links, displaying the results in the browser frame. Somewhat warty.]
Authentication File Tool Both tutorial information and a script to help formulate .htaccess and auxiliary files to control access to web pages based upon hostname or username/password.
/cse/www/ File Mode Browser Answers your questions about ownership and permission modes of files in the /cse/www/ file tree without forcing you to use the dreaded Unix command line to do it.
RTF to HTML translator Reads your web-accessible Rich Text Format file and sends HTML to your browser window, from which you can save it as a file.


About You

Unix Group Browser Answers the questions "what Unix groups [am I, is some other user] a member of?" without having to use the dreaded Unix command line to do it.
"Web Group" Browser Answers the questions "what web groups [am I, is some other user] a member of?" and explains what a "web group" is in the first place.
CSE Account Browser Answers the question "what computer accounts do I have?"
Who Wanted It? Answers the question "for recent accesses, what URLs made reference to this document?"
Kerberos Password Changer Change your kerberos password without facing down the fearsome Unix command prompt.
CSE Hourly Timecard CSE hourly workers use this "virtual timeclock" to track and report their hours. (If you don't have a CSE account but do have a UWNetID, you can use this UWNetID-authenticated version instead.)


Status Reports

Display Print Queue A simple web interface to the standard Unix lpq(1) utility, which shows the status of queues for any of the department's printers. Why would you need this? One word: Windows.
Web Server Status We monitor the health of a variety of CSE servers, checking every twenty minutes. This tool offers a web view of that status data.
Host Info A web interface to CSE computer asset database that can be used to answer such questions as what machines run Irix 6.2? or who's on first?
Trace That Route! A webified intereface to traceroute, which answers the question what route do packets from the web server take to get to host X?
Query That Server! Answer the question what web server are they running at site X?
