Hey all.

I need to write a script to get nagios information.
I need to return with echo command.

If i use the hpacucli with this commands:

ctrl all show status
or
controller sn=PAB360NX3UC0AD array A physicaldrive all show status
or
controller sn=PAB360NX3UC0AD array A physicaldrive 1:1 show status

What can i do ???

lik....if i put:
echo ctrl all show status

the answer is:
ctrl all show status

and i need the real information:
MSA500 G2 in M57TLYPN8H
Controller Status: OK
Cache Status: OK
Battery Status: OK

Any help ?

hi

If I am not mistaken it is

"ctrl all show" removing "status"

oly "ctrl all show"

The problem is not the ctrl command, it is the echo command. You don't "echo ctrl all show status", you execute the "ctrl all show status" command and store it's output to a variable or a file. In UNIX you could do something like

ctrl all show status > status_file.txt

or

status=`ctrl all show status`

Then you still have to parse the output and check if it says "OK" for further processing so you need additional code here to interface with nagios. Not sure of the details.

Yes... i need to know how to do this in Unix. My OS is Linux Red Hat.

I still need help.

My script:

#!/bin/bash
status='hpacucli controller sn=PAB360NX3UC0AD array A physicaldrive 1:1 show status'
echo "$status"

Don't work.
I already try echo status, echo $status..

Any help ?

I understand my error:

#!/bin/bash
status=`hpacucli controller sn=PAB360NX3UC0AD array A physicaldrive 1:1 show status`
echo $status


I change ' to `

Thanks!
