Counter for UH Department Pages (Count.cgi)
Note: Only University of Hawaii departments with directories on the ITS server (accessible via http://www.hawaii.edu/departmentname) will be able to use this counter. Personal home pages (http://www2.hawaii.edu) and those on other servers will not be able to use this CGI.
<img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=yourdirectory.yourfilename.dat" alt="hit count">
To avoid confusion with other department's pages, the "df," or data file, attribute should be based on the page's URL. For example, if your page's URL is http://www.hawaii.edu/counter/index.html, then the tag may look like this: <img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=counter.index.html.dat" alt="hit count"> and will produce this: 
Be sure to add ".dat" to the end of the data file name. Another example: If your URL is http://www.hawaii.edu/infotech/documents/doc1.html, then you might use: <img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=infotech.documents.doc1.html.dat" alt="hit count">
See below for options and more information:
