I need to do simple status monitoring script that will get status of a server from a webpage and then post/email it (not decided yet)

so something like

curl http://www.domain.com/status.html
grep Offline status.htm > /dev/null

if....

But I can't work out how to manage the status changes. The status is either online or offline but I only need to be informed if the status is different to the previous one ie If goes online I get a message saying it's online but I won't get another message till it changes to offline so I don't get bombarded with updates every time the script runs.

something like

Code:

ServerStatus=

if curl -o - http://www.domain.com/status.html | grep Offline status.htm &>/dev/null
then if [ "$ServerStatus" = Online ]
     then sed 's/^ServerStatus=.*/ServerStatus=Offline/' $0
          mail -s'ServerStatus changed' ...
     fi
fi

I didn't test, it's just an idea.

I've tried it and I thought i'd get it to post the status update to twitter, the code seems to work apart from the bit that actually posts the update?

Code:

ServerStatus=

if curl -s -u user:password http://IP-Address/status.htm | grep Off &>/dev/null
then if [ "$ServerStatus" = On ]
     then sed 's/^ServerStatus=.*/ServerStatus=Off/' $0
curl -u username:password -d status="Server Offline" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
     fi
fi

sleep 1
done

may be ServerStatus should not be empty when you launch the script the first time

Doh! how could I miss that, cheers Watael

When I run script using bash -x and server is online I get

Code:

+ true
+ ServerStatus=On
+ curl -s -u user:password http://IP-Address/status.htm
+ grep Off
+ sleep 1

When I take the server offline I get

Code:

+ '[' On = On ']'
+ sed 's/^SrverStatus=.*/ServerStatus=Off/' script
#!/bin/bash

## Web Get Parameters
user="user"
password="password"
url="IP-Address/status.htm"

## Other Parameters

while true
do

ServerStatus=Off

if curl -s -u admin:password http://IP-Address/status.htm | grep Off &>/dev/null
then if [ "$ServerStatus" = On ]
     then sed 's/^ServerStatus=.*/ServerStatus=Off/' $0
curl -u username:password -d status="Server Off" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
     fi
fi


sleep 1 
done
+ curl -u username:password -d status="Server Off" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml

It then updates the twitter page with Server Off however it keeps trying to post the same status again and again which gets denied as it's a duplicate entry I only want it to update if status is changed.

When I put the server back online I get

Code:

+ true
+ ServerStatus=On
+ curl -s -u user:password http://IP-Address/status.htm
+ grep Off
+ sleep 1

But it does not update twitter with server online

if you're using GNU/sed add the -i option
otherwise you have to pass by a temporary file, that you'll have to copy to your scriptname, and remove.

I tried doing

Code:

then sed -i 's/^ServerStatus=.*/ServerStatus=Off/' $0

and take the server offline I still get the same result

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
  <request>/statuses/update.xml</request>
  <error>Status is a duplicate.</error>
</hash>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
  <request>/statuses/update.xml</request>
  <error>Status is a duplicate.</error>
</hash>

and when I put it online I get no output

ah, you're using an infinite while loop, thus the script is not being re-read.

You could use an extra file where you'll check/modify known-status.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
## 

## Web Get Parameters
user="user"
password="password"
url="IP-Address/status.htm"
StatusFile=/tmp/TwitterStatus #contains only 0/1: 0=Off 1=On
## Other Parameters

while true
do ServerStatus="$(<$StatusFile)"
   if curl -s -u admin:password http://IP-Address/status.htm | grep Off &>/dev/null && ((ServerStatus))
   then echo "0" > $StatusFile
        curl -u username:password -d status="Server Off" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
   else [ -s $StatusFile ] && echo "1" > $StatusFile
   fi
   sleep 1 
done

I see where you coming from with the tmp file but it's not working, if I tail TwitterStatus while running the script there's no output and twitter does not get updated at all.

Code:

bash -x script shows

when offline

+ ServerStatus=
+ curl -s -u admin:password http://IP-Address/status.htm
+ grep Off
+ (( ServerStatus ))
+ '[' -s /tmp/TwitterStatus ']'
+ sleep 1
+ true

when online

+ ServerStatus=
+ curl -s -u admin:password http://IP-Address/status.htm
+ grep Off
+ '[' -s /tmp/TwitterStatus ']'
+ sleep 1
+ true

get rid of the -s test, and just echo 1 >$StatusFile
because -s tests if file exists, but it doesn't exist at first run

let's try another appoach:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

## Web Get Parameters
user="user"
password="password"
url="IP-Address/status.htm"
## Other Parameters
statusFile=/tmp/StatusFile
>$statusFile       

while :
do actualStatus="$(lynx --dump -auth $user:$password "$url")"
   previousStatus="$(<$statusFile)"
   if [ "$actualStatus" != "$previousStatus" ]
   then curl -u username:password -d status="$actualStatus" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
   else echo "$actualStatus" > $statusFile
   fi
   sleep 1s
done

Is not the echo unnecessary? The actual status is the same as the previous one, so why saving it?

the status.htm file contains more text than just on line/off line so i'm getting

Code:

http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
  <request>/statuses/update.xml</request>
  <error>Status is over 140 characters.</error>
</hash>

as twitter only accepts 140 characters, where do I need to put in a grep for off line/on line?

right! but echo is needed, not the else

Code:

   if [ "$actualStatus" != "$previousStatus" ]
   then curl -u username:password -d status="$actualStatus" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
        echo "$actualStatus" > $statusFile
   fi

can you paste lynx result?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
  <request>/statuses/update.xml</request>
  <error>Status is a duplicate.</error>
</hash>
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'On"'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
  <request>/statuses/update.xml</request>
  <error>Status is a duplicate.</error>
</hash>

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#set -x

## Web Get Parameters
user="user"
password="password"
url="http://IP/Status.htm"
StatusFile=/tmp/StatusFile
## Twitter Parameters
t_user=
t_passw=


>$StatusFile

while :
do actualStatus="$(sed -n '/Status[[:blank:]]*:/s/.*\(O[^[:blank:]]*\).*/\1/p' <(lynx --dump -auth $user:$password "$url"))"
   previousStatus="$(<$StatusFile)"
   if [ "$actualStatus" != "$previousStatus" ]
   then curl -u t_user:t_passw -d status=\"Server $actualStatus\" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
        echo "$actualStatus" > $StatusFile
   fi
   sleep 1s
done
