Script to check if user can bind, then output to file
Hi,

I've been trying to find the answer with no luck. I'm hoping someone can help me. Here's what I need to do:

Run a KSH script that will check:

1. Server (Client) Type (AIX 5.3, 6.1, SUSE, and HP-UX are the possibilities).
2. LDAP.cfg is configured correctly and the ldap client service is running. The way to tell is to see if a user with an account on the LDAP directory can bind from the Server (Client) side. If so, then output to yes.xml.....if no, then output to no.xml. Either way the server name and OS type need to be in the file, separated by commas.

That's it! know the AIX command to check ldap is lsldap -a passwd (ldap_user_id). That's all I know as far as what to do here. I don't need any ldap commands for the other OS types, they are simimar and I can handle that. I just don't know how to collect, validate and output info in a script. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,

D

jifty::script::server

Jifty::Script::Server(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Jifty::Script::Server(3pm)

NAME

       Jifty::Script::Server - A standalone webserver for your Jifty application

SYNOPSIS

	   jifty server
	   jifty server --port 6666
	   jifty server --stop

DESCRIPTION

       Starts and stops Jifty's standalone web server.

   options
       --port  The port to run the server on. Overrides the port in the config file, if it is set there. The default port is 8888.

       --user USER
	       The user to become after binding to the port.  It is advised that you use this when binding to low ports, instead of running as
	       "root".	This option only works if the server is using a Net::Server subclass.

       --group GROUP
	       The group to become after binding to the port.  Like "--user", this option only works if the server is using a Net::Server
	       subclass.

       --host HOSTNAME
	       The host to bind to.  This option only works if the server is using a Net::Server subclass.

       --stop  Stops the server, if it is running.  This is accomplished by reading the PID from "var/jifty-server.pid"

       --restart
	       restart the server, if it is running. This is accomplished by killing the child pid, and let parent pid create a new one

       --sigready SIGNAL
	       Sets the signal number that should be sent to the server's parent process when the server is ready to accept connections.

       --quiet Reduces the amount of debug output sent by the server

       --dbiprof
	       Turns on DBI profiling; see DBI::ProfileDumper.

       --help  Print a brief help message and exits.

       --man   Prints the manual page and exits.

DESCRIPTION

       When you're getting started with Jifty, this is the server you want. It's lightweight and easy to work with.

METHODS

   run
       "run" takes no arguments, but starts up a Jifty server process for you.
