Using Xymon to monitor the ink and toner levels in printers

[kevin (at) shadowsoft.com (Kevin McAllister)]

Hello,

The scripts that I have for gathering this doesn't seem to be getting 
any data at all. I am new to this any help would be appreciated. I am 
running Centos 5.3 x86_64.  I have put a copy of the scripts in the email.

#!/bin/sh

#BIG BROTHER - monitor HP printer ink levels

HOSTIP=$1; export HOSTIP

HOST=$2; export HOST

VHOST=$3; export VHOST


InkTmp=$BBTMP/ink.$$; export InkTmp

COLOR="blue"; export COLOR

echo $COLOR > ${InkTmp}-color


URL="http://${HOSTIP}/SSI/device_status_info.htm";

echo "URL: $URL" > ${InkTmp}-2

echo "" >> ${InkTmp}-2


/usr/bin/curl -w "$SS_LOGCURL" -m 120 -H "Host: $VHOST" -G $URL > 
$InkTmp 2>> ${InkTmp}-2


#bit a monkeybusiness with COLOR here because the variable doesn't 
propagate back from the sub-shells


if test $? -eq 0

then

echo "" >> ${InkTmp}-2

COLOR="green"; export COLOR

$GREP CARTRIDGE $InkTmp | $SED -r 's/<[^>]*>|&nbsp;//g' | $SED 's/ 
CARTRIDGE/ _CARTRIDGE: /' | tee -a ${InkTmp}-2 | $SED 's/%//' | while 
read x

do

if test $COLOR != "red"

then

set $x

if test $2 -le 10

then

COLOR="yellow"

fi

fi

echo $COLOR > ${InkTmp}-color

done

fi
