Help required in shell script

[Mampi_Mumbai]

Dear Experts,

I want to write a shell script on a linux node for the following requirement:

netstat –an|grep 1522|wc –l
the count should not be greater than 900

Can any one please help me to write the script?

Its an urgent requirement and your immediate help will be highly appreciated and helpful.

Regards,
Sudipta

What exactly that script should do with results? You have a command, that gives somekind of number as a result, what you want to do with it? Whats your aim?

And you are lousy pointgiver, maybe by trying to appreciate others time you could get better answers?

Lauri,

I always assign the appropriate points to people whose suggestions genuinely help me to resolve my issues.

Sorry, You haven't done the same and hence haven't received points.

My aim is to monitor and get alerts as and when the output of the mentioned command exceeds 900. For creating a policy i need to write the script on the managed node

Regards,
Sudipta

Hi,

Please copy the below script and save it as count.sh

count=`netstat â an|grep 1522|wc â l`
if [ $count > 900 ]; then
/opt/OV/bin/opcmsg a=Script o=count.sh msg_grp=OS severity=Critical msg_text="Count Exceeded"
fi

and execute chmod 755 count.sh in the directory where you saved the script.

And create a message template to capture the alert and schedule the script using schedule template or cron.

Jai.

Hi,

But I am getting false alerts ..even if the count is not 900, i am getting an alert saying its greater than 900.

I have deployed a scheduled task policy.

Can you please help

first regarding your generosity with points - it's not about giving points to those who solve your homeworks, it's about showing effort ;)

second - your request is unrelated to OM so ...

third - try "man sh" or "man bash" and find there how integers should be compared algebraically

Hi,

Please copy the below script

count=`netstat -an|grep 1522|wc -l`
if test $count -gt 900
then
echo "Count Exceeded"
fi
