How to POST 'shell output' as JSON data with Curl

Question

I've been able to configure my tomcat server in Intellij and have been able to run the server successfully. However, I can't seem to find where to actually add my project to the server in intellij. I'm used to using eclipse where I would right-click my server and use the "Add and Remove" feature for the server. Is there something similar in intellij?

Solution

Using one type of quote is more simple and solves that issue;

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "{\"uptime\": \"$(uptime)\"}" "http://sitename.com/update.php"

or you can use 2 quote types but it's less elegant;

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"uptime": "'"$(uptime)"'"}' 'http://sitename.com/update.php'

I've tried to add my project in the server config setting under the deployment tab but now when I run the server, I'm getting a 404

nop, it doesn't uptime doesn't gives me any output like this, thats what I got at first and I already fixed it closing the opened single-quote at the start, concatenating with my command, and opening it again to close the brakes
