[Xymon] dnsreg script question

[Dugan, Darin D [EIT]]

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 17:27:42 EDT 2012

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
