Customizing Self Service

So after reading Emily Kausalik's blog I wanted to figure out how to customize Self Service even more and found this directory:

/Library/JSS/Tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/frontend/osxselfservice

This has all the pages that make up Self Service, I started looking at the index.jsp and found some interesting stuff rem'd out:

```
<!-- Taking these out for the time being. May change in the future

<img src="../images/selfservice2/background/rightColDivider.png" alt="rightColDivider" width="180" height="12" />

jQuery form select styling option - http://pixelmatrixdesign.com/uniform/ <select id="categorySelect" onchange="newCategorySelected(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">

</select>

<ul class="appHighlight"> <li><a href="#">iLife '11</a></li> <li><a href="#">Adobe CS5</a></li> <li><a href="#">Microsoft Office 2011</a></li> <li><a href="#">Angry Birds</a></li> </ul> </div>-->

So I then proceeded to add my stuff:

<div id="rightcolumn">

<!--BEGIN QUICKLINKS--> <div id="quickLinks"> <div class="quickLinksHeader"> <ul>
<!-- You need to log into self service --> <li><h1>Hello <%=System.getProperty("user.name") %></h1></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="quickLinksContent"> <ul id="genericRightHeader"> <ul class="appHighlight"> <li>OS: <%= System.getProperty("os.name") %> <%= System.getProperty("os.version") %> <li>IP Address: <%= request.getRemoteAddr() %></li> <li>Centrify Mode: {ctfyMode} </li> <li>Available Updates: {susLIST} </li> <li>HDD Status: {dutilSMART}</li> <li></li> </ul> </div>
```

Only issue is that JSP won't read anything from Bash (I am not an expert in JSP or much else w/things that start w the letter Java, JQuery, JScript, etc.) I HOPE I AM WRONG on this!

my goal is to figure out how to get the commands below:

Available Updates
softwareupdate -l | some soft of awk command.

Smart Status
SMART=diskutil info disk0 | grep SMART ## Smart Disk Status
echo "${SMART}"

Any help would be great!
