I'm trying to do some very basic scripting. I been scouring the board looking at examples but I just can't seem to piece something together.
Edit: Now that I look at it, maybe my request is a little more complex and I'm biting off more than I can chew...
1. Take a list of IPs/hosts (hosts.txt)
Code:
cat Hosts.txt
host1
host2
host3
For each host:
1. Continually Ping with Timestamp
2. Append each in their own log file (host1.log, host2.log, host3.log)
3. Every 30 seconds perform an nmap -sP - Append another individual log file (host1-nmap.log, host2-nmap.log, host3-nmap.log)
4. Run this script maybe in crontab so that it keeps running until you run a "service stop"?
Honestly, I'm not entirely looking just for the answer, would just appreciate some tips, examples and kinda where to look.

4. Run this script maybe in crontab so that it keeps running until you run a "service stop"?
Let us start with 1.: Because commands in a script are only processed sequentially you will have to send the jobs in the background to have them run concurrently:
Code:
while read chHost ; do
ping "$chHost" &
done < hosts.txt
2. is quite simple, just add a redirection:
Code:
while read chHost ; do
# ping "$chHost" > "$chHost".log & # create new logfile every run
ping "$chHost" >> "$chHost".log & # append to existing log
done < hosts.txt
For 3. set up a second loop:
Code:
while : ; do
while read chHost ; do
nmap -sP $chHost >> ${chHost}-nmap.log
done < hosts.txt
sleep 30
done
That leaves the starting/stopping issue. I'd use a PID file in "/var/run" and use that to eliminate the process:
Code:
#! /bin/ksh
DispHostList ()
{
typeset chHost=""
while reach chHost ; do
print - "$chHost"
done < /path/to/hosts.txt
return 0
}
pStop ()
{
typeset fPID="$1"
if [ ! -e "$fPID" ] ; then
print -u2 "ERROR: there is nothing to stop"
exit 1
else
kill -15 "$(cat "$fPID")"
fi
return 0
}
pStart ()
{
typeset PID="$$"
typeset chHost=""
typeset fPID="$1"
if [ -e "$fPID" ] ; then
print - u2 "ERROR: another instance seems to run."
exit 1
else
print - "$PID" > "$fPID"
fi
DispHostList |\
while read chHost ; do
# ping "$chHost" > "$chHost".log & # create new logfile every run
ping "$chHost" >> "$chHost".log & # append to existing log
done
while : ; do # this will loop forever
DispHostList |\
while read chHost ; do
nmap -sP $chHost >> ${chHost}-nmap.log
done
sleep 30
done
}
# main()
typeset fRun="/var/run/pinglog.pid"
case "$1" in
start)
pStart "$fRun"
;;
restart)
pStop "$fRun"
pStart "$fRun"
;;
stop)
pStop "$fRun"
;;
*)
print -u2 "ERROR: do not know how to handle \"$1\""
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
I hope this helps.

Reason: corrected typo
So, I had gotten close to the list thing stumbling through, but essentially took your advice verbatim and did the following:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#while read chHost ; do
# ping "$chHost" &
#done < hosts.txt
while read chHost ; do
# ping "$chHost" > "$chHost".log & # Create new log ever run
ping "$chHost" | xargs -n1 -i bash -c 'echo `date +"%m-%d %H:%M:%S"`" {}"' >> ./Ping/"$chHost".log &
done < hosts.txt
Which works great. But I noticed it was a bear to try and do any sort of PS since it spawned so many. The second PID portion of your suggestion REALLY has my head spinning and thus I'll need to re-read it.
So, in the meantime, I've just adjusted the script to do the following (which is probably a better I idea anyway)
The second PID portion of your suggestion REALLY has my head spinning and thus I'll need to re-read it.
As much as i would like to take the praise for this idea: it is common within many UNIX programs (daemons mostly) to create a file with the PID (process ID) in /var/run at the start and use the PID stored there to shut down the process.

Hi,
How can I avoid multiple 'cat while read ....? in my script.
In my script, I am taking the inputs from the temp text file and doing the

task and deleting later.
I know it'll raise the perfomance issue. How to avoid this? (2 Replies)
