SAM Linux Script Monitor Error

ra2

Hi,

I am attempting to run a very simple bash script against my Linux nodes to determine if they are a node or workstation. Below is a screenshot of the script:

However, when it runs, it returns the following output and errors:

Output: =====================================================

/tmp/APM_230533995.pl

Server

/tmp/APM_230533995.pl: line 2: Message.1:: command not found

As you can see, it correctly determines if the node is a server or workstation. However, it keeps saying that a command is not found.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm not entirely sure how you got "Server" to print out.  Some of that would depend on what you are using as a shell.  Anyway.  Lets go through some suggestions.

1) Specify what executable you want to run the script with on the "Command Line:" field.  Instead of "${SCRIPT}" use "/usr/bin/perl ${SCRIPT} or "/bin/bash ${SCRIPT}"  That will really clear up what you are running this script in.

2) Just to make it look more linuxy put the hash bang at the top.  It is really just a duplicate information from my first suggestion, but it makes me feel good.  #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/perl

3) Test the script on the machine to see how it works.

4) Even if you are not going to use it, output a "statistic" to go with the "message".  Even if it's just a static number.

So here is what my recommendation looks like: Keep in mind your paths might very.  I'm using bash, you might be using ksh or something else.  And most importantly... I typed this, so there will likely be errors.

Command Line: /bin/bash ${SCRIPT}

Script:

#!/bin/bash

nodeType=$(grep OS_Type /etc/build.bf | cut -f2 -d=)

echo "Statistic.1: 0"

echo "Message.1: ${nodeType}"
