All the servers are live except cbdodbfs2.standardchartered.co.in as we have shutdown this lpar.
The script should ping all the servers at 06:00 AM
Once the script has been run at 06:00 AM it should send me an email to me mentioning which servers are live and which one are dead.
It would be better if the email I get looks like the below :
frssit02.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
frssit01.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbspssit.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbspsuat.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbsappfs1.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbsappfs2.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbdodbfs2.standardchartered.co.in - this server is not alive, please contact the unix support team
What have you tried so far? Where is the particular problem? There is often being asked for a script to ping hosts and also questions on how to send mails. Show efforts please and be it at least to use the search function of the forum first, thanks.
I moderate any answers with complete solutions before the OP didn't answer - thanks for your understanding.
Just as an aside, however, you might want to think about listing internal domain contents when posting on a forum like this. Just as a matter of security...it's generally best if you don't broadcast the contents of your pockets.
The scripts I got are very good and they worked fine.
But they just send the email with the server names which are down.
But my management is expecting an email something like the below one :
frssit02.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
frssit01.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbspssit.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbspsuat.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbsappfs1.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbsappfs2.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbdodbfs2.standardchartered.co.in - this server is not alive, please contact the unix support team
There should be a line where you test the output of ping, maybe rest the return code or parse it's output, whatever. At this place just put another if condition or something an pass those that are positiv ie. alive to the same file, concatenating it.
Im just trained in AIX and I dont know anything about the scripts.
Can you please do the modifications in this script and post the new script.
The below is the script I use :
root # cat pingnodes.ksh | pg
#!/usr/bin/ksh
#
# SCRIPT: pingnodes.ksh
#
# PURPOSE: This script is used to ping a list of nodes and
# send e-mail notification (or alpha-numeric page) of any unreachable
# nodes.
#
# set -x # Uncomment to debug this script
# set -n # Uncomment to check command syntax without any execution
