SSSU - Passing a windows parameter from a command file

Ray Albert — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:16:02 GMT

I have a script that will capture the array information, but i have 3 arrays on the eva. I want to keep all 3 arrays in seperate output files which work, but trying to get it where i can pass a parameter into sssu. example

cmd file that runs

sssu "file c:\scripts\eva_hostfull.in" %1 > c:\script_output\eva_hostfull_%1.out

input file

select manager localhost USERNAME=someusername PASSWORD=somepwd
select system %1
ls host full
exit

the select system %1 this is where the i have to hardcode the system, but would like to pass the value in. any ideas?

SSSU commands can't accept the variables. You can create 3 files (say eva1.in, eva2.in and eva3.in) each will have it's own EVA's name. Then create a BAT file which will run them one after another.

# sample evaconfigcollector.bat
sssu "file c:\eva1.in" > C:\eva1.out
sssu "file c:\eva2.in" > C:\eva2.out
sssu "file c:\eva3.in" > C:\eva3.out

If you are interested in something more, see the following, which I used sometimes back.

# sample EVAConfigCollector.BAT
@ECHO ON
SET EXITCODE=0
set outputfile=EVA_%date:~-4,4%%date:~-7,2%%date:~4,2%.txt
ECHO Please wait while script captures the SSSU Output.
ECHO This screen will CLOSE automatically upon SSSU completion.
ECHO "This script was run on %date% %time%" > %outputfile%
SSSU.exe "file EVA1.in" 1>> %outputfile%

Enjoy playing with scripts.

Ray, you can create a longer CMD command line:
+----
sssu.exe "file logon.txt" "select system %SYS%" "ls lun"
-----

It worked not.

I see no information in logon.txt

'logon.txt' is an input file. You must put the 'select manager ...' command into that file. The SSSU output will be sent to the screen.

My false.
I have forgotten the path of the outputfile and the outputfile:

> c:\script_output\eva_hostfull_%1.out

I am working with cmd file.

The EVA's have username and password.

But i can see the username and password in CMD file.

Could i "not see" the username and password in cmd file?
