Thanks Tom.

I can't seem to open that it just comes out gobbledegook when I un compress it.

Ben

It's perl, what did you expect

[plexer]

Haha not in that way

use strict;

my $colour = "Polka Dot";
my $level = 0;

while(<>)
{

if (m/<td width="197" height="30">(\w+) Toner Cartridge<\/td>/)
{

$colour = $1;

}
if (m/<font size="2">(\d+)%<\/font><\/td>/)
{

$level = $1;
print "$colour: $level\n";

}

}

That works for me.

Now to do the rest of the check

Ok here's a working script, many thanks to Tom for sorting this out for me.

Looks like you've got it working well Ben - thanks for reposting the perl we worked on via email.. hope it helps someone else

Now go get "Learning Perl" (O'Reilly) it's good, it is.

Yeah the only thing I've commented out is trying to get it to return a value as well as printing the output to stdout as it does now.

Did you not get that to work? TBH I got as far as working out what you were trying to do, but didn't check the code

[plexer]

nagios takes the single line of text from stdout as a return but I'd seen some perl plugins that also returned the value as well.

Such as exit $state;

Allthough it may not be needed in my case as it works as we have it now.

Just need to do add in some error checking like you mentioned becuase if I run it against a non k5440 printer for instance I presume it will baulk.

Ben

[tom_newton]

Would have thought so - though you might adapt it to detect the type of printer and find the correct URL automatically

[RabbieBurns]

I'm trying to create a plugin for nagios to get the consumables status for our Konica K5440dl printers.

I tried a snmpwalk on one and it only goes so far so I was hoping to try and copy the HP 2600 one which uses wget to download the supplies status webpage to a temporary file and then extracts the details from that.

Ben

Can you post the one you use for the HP 2600 please?

[plexer]

I'll look it up when I'm back at work next week.

A bit off topic, but i didnt see the point making a new thread for this question what with all the linux scripting goin on here!
I want to copy a set of folders to another folder, but log what files are processed at the same time to a text file:

so i got something like this, but my file ends up empty

cp -R -v /Source /Destination > /Destination/Log.file

Do i need to use cat and pipe it in there somehow?
Cheers in advance peeps

[powdarrmonkey]

so i got something like this, but my file ends up empty

cp -R -v /Source /Destination > /Destination/Log.file

Works for me..

$ cat Destination/log
`Source/file2' -> `Destination/Source/file2'
`Source/file1' -> `Destination/Source/file1'
$

[tom_newton]

cp -Rv ./baz/ ./bar/ > foo

seems to work here

tom@flying-squirrel:/tmp/foo$ cat foo
`./baz/' -> `./bar/baz'
`./baz/flibb' -> `./bar/baz/flibb'
`./baz/quux' -> `./bar/baz/quux'
