[Xymon] dnsreg script question

[Russell Blumenthal]

Ok let me tweak it around. What does this line do anyhow? I keep seeing
that pop up and then the error about command being not found

thanks

Rereading your message, it seems perhaps $XYMON or $XYMDISP are not
populated. Are you running this under xymoncmd to set the environment? I
run from cron daily with:

 

/home/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd
--env=/home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
/home/xymon/server/ext/dnsreg

 

A few other differences in my script:

1.       I'm using $XYMSRV instead of $XYMDISP. Hmm...I don't have a
$XYMDISP anywhere, maybe $BBDISP wasn't updated to $XYMSRV properly?

2.       Added a "sleep 60" command before "done". Whois seems to get
angry with me if I query a bunch of domains in quick succession.

3.       Had to modify the sed commands for EXPIRESTRING:
EXPIRESTRING="`whois $DOMAIN | egrep -i
"Expires.*:|Expiration.*:|Renewal.*:" | head -n 1 | cut -d: -f2 | sed
-e's/^\s*//' | sed -e's/\s.*//'`"

 

Cheers.

I installed  'whois' and I am able to do a manual query 'whois
domain.com'. but unable to run the script manually to test it.

I'm guessing you don't have 'whois' available or in the path.

I am having an issue trying to get the dnsreg script working. I install
it and all and when I go to test it I get this (I took out my domain).
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

 

./dnsreg.sh: line 31: status+90000 mydomain.com.dnsreg red Thu Sep 20

Domain mydomain.com expires on

: command not found

 

 

 

The script looks like this:

 

 

#!/bin/sh

 

# Check DNS registrations in whois and warn when they are about to
expire.

#

# NOTE: Requires a "whois" command that knows what servers to query.

#       Requires GNU date.

#       Should run only once a day.

 

NOW=`date "+%s"`

WARNTIME=`expr $NOW + 864000`        # 10 days

ALARMTIME=`expr $NOW + 432000`       # 5 day

 

/home/xymon/server/bin/xymongrep dnsreg | while read L

do

      set $L

      DOMAIN=$2

 

      EXPIRESTRING="`whois $DOMAIN | egrep -i
"Expires.*:|Expiration.*:|Renewal.*:" | head -n 1 | cut -d: -f2 | sed
-e's/^[     ]*//'`"

      EXPIRES=`date --date="$EXPIRESTRING" "+%s"`

 

      if test $EXPIRES -le $ALARMTIME

      then

         COLOR=red

      elif test $EXPIRES -le $WARNTIME

      then

         COLOR=yellow

      else

         COLOR=green

      fi

 

      $XYMON $XYMDISP "status+90000 $DOMAIN.dnsreg $COLOR `date`

 

Domain $DOMAIN expires on $EXPIRESTRING

"

done
