I can't find it on my system 'whereis expect' comes back with nothing. Will this still help?

I am running Ubunto 8.10 and I am trying to issue crendtials ( $LOGIN=login & Password) to my telnet command and would like some advice as to what other ways I could write it - currently as shown -...

Thank you Franklin52 - I am good - Thank you so much. Dale

I am adapting an Open Step ping server script to Ubuntu 8.10 and one section of my script isn't working


# if there are servers that just went down or came back up, notify

Yeah, that works - THANKS! I can see the integer comparing itself againist 11 - very nice. but the script is still ending and not notifying the update (when a server comes back up). The script is...

I'll give it a try. THANKS SO MUCH! This forum has been very helpful to me. I will be back in touch. Did you see anything else that looked suspicious? Dale

I have the last portion of an Open Step ping server shell script that is giving me issues that I need to adapt to Ubuntu 8.10 Client flavor of Unix. Can someone see what is wrong with the following:...

NICE! IT WORKS!!!

Can't thank you enough for your patience. So, I need to put CODE & /CODE with ONLY the code I am having the problems with (so a small portion of the script) and it always helps...

Here is the error I get when the script is run. I have again attempted the code tags and think its better (I hope).

OUTPUT
+ read NAME IP ROUTER
+ sping albany1 xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.1
+...

Ah, ok. I have went back in and I think the code is now better. The part giving me the problem is:

#[PING PORTION]
sping()
{
NAME=$1
IP=$2
ROUTER=$3
if [ -n "$4" ]; then
COUNT=$4
else...

I am definately learning! Thanks!! I redid it and your comment about the man pages has help me a bit in cleaning up some of the ping portion but the [-n "$4" ] is still giving me fits. Thanks for...

I hope I did this right, I have added the code tags - I thought they should be whereever processing is done? Please let me know. Thanks for your time. Dale

Thanks for your patience. Can you explain code tags (show me a small example?)and I will do my best to get them in there. Dale

Thanks for your time. I have placed the entire script (minus a few clients) and have tried to add tags for each section (if I understood you correctly - I hope this makes it easier) and have also...

I have a ping script I use on an old Open Step box (I guess its closely related to Mac OS X) and it runs fine, but now I built a system as a backup with Ubuntu 8.10 client and the script needs to be...

Good idea, but the package is no longer out there. I found a command to search the packages that are out there:

telnet apt-cache search telnet

and I get back the following:

tcpd Wietse...

Okay, it came back empty so I have some more work to do. Unless you know where and how to get it I'll continue searching for it, but its good to know I don't have it and that's my problem. Thanks...

No problem, I grateful for your time.

I do the same command netstat -an |grep :23 and get nothing so I guess that's my answer its not running. Boo. Any ideas on starting it up or do I need a...

the netstat -an command works

returns:
tcp 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.00:* LISTEN

So now I am confused. I normally telnet without a port and whatever port its using (I think 23 isn't working,...

I hate to even say this, but I don't know - how can I check? I thought by being able to telnet out that would mean its running so it was some kind of file in /etc that I needed to update. I put my...

I have a real need to telnet into my new Ubuntu 8.10 server and have Googled my eyes out with ideas that don't work. I CAN telnet out of the server, but I CANNOT telnet into it (connection refused...

I know I can add a wait statement but then if there is a network hicup or something that takes a download longer it may move on to the next client without completing. I am hoping I can add some kind...

This is my base script. It goes out to the clients, but it doesn't complete the download before going to the next client. Can anybody suggest something I can change to make this script stop to do the...

my clients are probes that throughout the country and the software I am speaking of is the firmware they run. So I am looking to update the firmware on my 200 probes. I am using a version of Unix...

I am in need of a script that uses a flat file of ip addresses (200 clients) to update client software. It could telnet or use some other command that is ip friendly and would login using a port with...
