Template Script Error with LINUX Device

Hello,

We have a problem during a CLI Send Command Activities with a LINUX Red Hat Device connected with SSH2.

Info Log report that  login to device was successful but also an error "Client script error : Invalid procedure call or argument : 'Mid ' on line 244"

I see this script on the /Scripts folder but it is encrypted by KIWI CAT Tools.

Bellow "Info Log" and "Debug file" :

  • The script can't determine the hostname for the device. From the debug it looks like there may not be one as I'm only seeing a '#' rather than 'someHostname#'.

    Can you send a PuTTY capture of login into the device so I can confirm this? Or alternatively try giving the device a 'hostname'if if this is possible.

  • Hello,  and thanks for your reply.

    Effectively, my device has no hostname before his "#" prompt. But hostname is correctly.

    Bellow the PuTTY capture :

    login as: root
    Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
    Password:
    # hostname
    fwinterne.trokers.local
    #

    This device is a PfSense platform (BSD), I use Linux RedHat template type because I think that this template use BASH.

    Did you think that I need to create a new script and template ?

  • Hi,

    You could try using the device type called 'Generic.Device' and the device variations feature http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/cattools/dev_devicevariations.htm to see if you can get your device supported (it may be easier if you are only doing simple operations on this device - i.e. not any of the reporting activities which would require data parsing, etc.).

    If your device only ever has a '#' prompt regardless of whether it is in non-privileged, privileged (enable) or config mode, then you'd just need to set the Full Prompt Values to something like:

    FULL_HOSTNAMEID = "fwinterne.trokers.local"
    FULL_VTYPROMPT = "#"
    FULL_ENABLEPROMPT = "#"
    FULL_CONFIGPROMPT = "#"

    This will then override the code which is currently having problems when trying to determine your device hostname programatically.

    Regards,

    Steve

  • Thanks, login into device works !

    Have you an idea of UTFTD put option on the Cat tools TFTP server.

    I use Cat tools TFTP Server on a Microsoft OS but UTFTP require that TFTP server was running by inetd...

    ################## Man Page of UTFTPD ##################

    The remote host must have a tftpd daemon started by its inetd daemon and have an account defined that limits the access of the tftpd daemon. Use the procedure defined by the tftpd command to setup the TFTP environment and the nobody account.  

    ##################################################

    On the device :

    # utftpd 192.168.5.30 config config-router-20101109102049.xml
    utftpd: must be started by inetd.
      Give --help option for usage information.
    # sh: turning off NDELAY mode

    Thanks in advance.

    King regards,

    Clement

  • Hi Clement,

    Does you device not support a 'tftp' command then?  For example (based on your command syntax above): 

       # tftp 192.168.5.30 config config-router-20101109102049.xml

    (I'm presuming that 192.168.5.30 is the IP of the system where CatTools is installed - i.e. where the (CatTools) TFTP Server is running?)
