awk - issue to get the right IP
On AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1, I have this script for checking printers being pingable or not.

Code:
for i in `lsallq`
do
    echo "Queue Name: " $i
    echo "----------------------------------------"
    for j in `lsallqdev -q $i`
    do
        echo "          Device Name:" $j
        hname=`echo $j | cut -f2 -d"@"`
        echo "          Hostname   :" $hname
        ip=`nslookup $hname 2>&1 | awk '/^Address/ {print $2}' | tail -n1`
        if ping -c 1 $ip > /dev/null 2>&1; then
            echo "          IP         :" $ip Pingble.
            PINGABLE="$PINGABLE $hname[$ip]($i)"
        else
            echo "          IP         :" $ip Not Pingble.
            UNPINGABLE="$UNPINGABLE $hname[$ip]($i)"
        fi
        echo ""
    done

    echo ""
done

echo "PINGABLE:"
echo "---------------------------"
for k in $PINGABLE; do
    echo $k
done

echo "UNPINGABLE:"
echo "---------------------------"
for k in $UNPINGABLE; do
    echo $k
done

However, the output gives me the lists with the same IP 10.6.2.2 for all printers:
HTML Code:
Queue Name:  trid2lexlbl_ps
----------------------------------------
          Device Name: hp@trid2lexlbl
          Hostname   : trid2lexlbl
          IP         : 10.6.2.2 Pingble.


Queue Name:  diakbcht1
----------------------------------------
          Device Name: hp@diakbcht1
          Hostname   : diakbcht1
          IP         : 10.6.2.2 Pingble.


Queue Name:  diakbcht1_ps
----------------------------------------
          Device Name: hp@diakbcht1
          Hostname   : diakbcht1
          IP         : 10.6.2.2 Pingble.


Queue Name:  diakblbl1
----------------------------------------
          Device Name: hp@diakblbl1
          Hostname   : diakblbl1
          IP         : 10.6.2.2 Pingble.


Queue Name:  diakblbl1_ps
----------------------------------------
          Device Name: hp@diakblbl1
          Hostname   : diakblbl1
          IP         : 10.6.2.2 Pingble.


Queue Name:  zebb2
----------------------------------------
          Device Name: hp@zebb2
          Hostname   : zebb2
          IP         : 10.6.2.2 Pingble.
.... snipped ....
If I ping each printer hostname, it gives me the right IP, which is different from 10.6.2.2
HTML Code:
ping trid2lexlbl
PING trid2lexlbl: (10.12.3.11): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.12.3.11: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=2 ms
64 bytes from 10.12.3.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=1 ms
How do we fix this script and get the right IP output?

Appreciate it!!

Hello Daniel_Gate,

Could you please try PINGABLE="$PINGABLE $hname[ip]($i)"
Not sure though just give a try for same.

Thanks,
R. Singh

Looks like the ip assignment goes wrong. Could you post the nslookup output for all the hosts from $(lsallqdev)? And, have a look at nslookup's stderr...
