Thanks Ralph. Thought about that too, just hoped there was a better way. I will try a few more things and update this thread if I figure it out for future people.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 3:28 PM, Ralph Mitchell <<a href="mailto:ralphmitchell@gmail.com">ralphmitchell@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

I'm not a perl programmer, but I managed to make it do what I needed at the time. Unfortunately, that system went away and I don't have a copy. <br>
<br>It may not be optimal, but you could report the two licenses independantly:<br>
<br> bbsend "<a href="http://10.10.10.10/" target="_blank">10.10.10.10</a> TEST-PC.citrix-license1 red License is at 96% in use"<br><br> bbsend "<a href="http://10.10.10.10/" target="_blank">10.10.10.10</a> TEST-PC.citrix-license2 red License is at 96% in use"<br>
<br>You'd get two columns...<br><br>That's about all I got - I don't do perl very often, and don't know how to compile it for windows...<br><font color="#888888"><br>Ralph Mitchell</font><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">

I can't put Active Perl on the system either but the bbsend.exe works good for basic status. A problem I have run into though, is that it does not seem to accept multi-line input like bb.pl does. Does anyone know how to do this for CMD?<br>
<br>I tried "type input.txt | bbsend.exe" and command runs fine but the hobbit status page doesn't show the data. <br><br>The normal command works fine "bbsend "<a href="http://10.10.10.10" target="_blank">10.10.10.10</a> TEST-PC.citrix-license red License is at 96% in use" ... the rub is that I have 2 licenses and I want to display them on 2 different lines in Hobbit status column but can't.<br>
<br>This would be simple on *nix but Windows is giving me a hard time.<br><br>Any help is appreciated.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br clear="all"><br>'Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.' --Yogi Berra

Hi All,<br><br>I am hoping someone can help with this or provide a link to an explanation, as I haven't been able to find the information in the archives or how-to's.<br><br>I have a server that I am monitoring Citrix licensing usage on. Currently I am using a VBScript for this purpose that figures out the usage and then emails me of >90% used and >95% used. It uses the telnet and WshShell.SendKeys method to do this.<br>
<br>Key Item: The business doesn't want the BBWin agent on this server.<br><br>I want to be able to send the 'status' and 'data' to Hobbit and have hobbit: alert on it, and graph it.<br><br>Can I do something as simple as a telnet session to the Hobbit server on 1984/tcp and send the info? What is the syntax for that and what commands does it accept (i.e. to close the session)?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br></div></div>Dunno about telnet, but if the server has Perl you might be able to use bb.pl from the <a href="http://deadcat.net" target="_blank">deadcat.net</a> BB site:<br><br> <a href="http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=155" target="_blank">http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=155</a><br>
<br>It's a drop-in replacement for the bb command. There's also bbsend.exe:<br><br> <a href="http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=353" target="_blank">http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=353</a><br>
<br>which is a compiled version of bb.pl.<br>
<br>I've used bb.pl in a couple of places, but not recently.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Ralph Mitchell<br>
