grep masters wanted

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.

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

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

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

 

Works for me..

 

$ cat Destination/log

`Source/file2' -> `Destination/Source/file2'

`Source/file1' -> `Destination/Source/file1'

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'

[ind1ekid]

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'

 

Cheers Worked a charm, I wasnt far off I guess!

...what exactly did you do differently? I used your exact command to test.

Just a nudge in case this had slipped your mind.

 

Im installing nagios just now and all our printers are those HPs pretty much..

[plexer]

Thanks for the nudge I hadn't forgotten I just hadn't got round to doing it yet.

 

I've posted it up on my blog plextech

 

Thanks.

How do I go about installing it as a plugin?

[RabbieBurns]

OK this seems to be working.. But how now do I implement it into nagios??

 

root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# php check_hp2600.php -H 10.0.5.101 -c 10 -w 15
TONER OK C:32 M:99 Y:32 K:22

[RabbieBurns]

Got it sorted!

 

I had to add this to commands.cfg

 

# 'check_hp2600' command definition
define command{
	command_name	check_hp2600
	command_line	php /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hp2600.php -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 10 -w 15
	}

 

And then in printers.cfg i made a new group called 2600-printers which calls the previous command

 

define service{
use			generic-service		; Inherit values from a template
hostgroup_name		2600-printers		; The name of the host the service is associated with
service_description	Printer Status		; The service description
#	check_command		check_hpjd!-C public	; The command used to monitor the service
check_command		check_hp2600	; The command used to monitor the service
normal_check_interval	10	; Check the service every 10 minutes under normal conditions
retry_check_interval	1	; Re-check the service every minute until its final/hard state is determined
}

 

And then just specified all the printers in host declarations

 

define host{
use		generic-printer		; Inherit default values from a template
host_name	10.0.5.101		; The name we're giving to this printer
alias		10.0.5.101	; A longer name associated with the printer
address		10.0.5.101		; IP address of the printer
hostgroups	2600-printers 	; Host groups this printer is associated with
notifications_enabled	0		; disable emails for this check	
}

 

I hope this helps someone else
