Hello,
The code below pulls printer information from a three-column file (set by the ${MULTIFILE} variable at the end), that has the printer queue name, IP, and type of printer. It is supposed to use this info to add the printers in the list to one, or more servers . The input file (${MULTIFILE} variable) looks like this:
queuename1 10.10.10.1 hp
queuename2 10.10.10.2 xerox
queuename3 192.168.1.3 hp
This is also the info that feeds the following:
while read QNAME PRTIP PTYPE
The problem I am running into is that it only executes on the first row of the input file, and doesn't go down the input file at all, and I believe this is due to the ${HNAME} variable, which is for the server. How would I make it so that I can have the list of printers installed on multiple servers?
Here is the code:
[CODE]
echo "Enter server host names separated by a blank space. ex.(server1 server2 server3):"
read HNAME
continue ;;
*) add_multiple_printer_func
exit ;;
while read QNAME PRTIP PTYPE
do
for i in $HNAME
do
if [ "$PTYPE" = "hp" -o "$PTYPE" = "Hp" -o "$PTYPE" = "HP" ] ; then
PTYPE=257
elif [ "$PTYPE" = "xerox" -o "$PTYPE" = "Xerox" -o "$PTYPE" = "XEROX" ] ; then
PTYPE=9991
elif [ "$PTYPE" = "unknown" -o "$PTYPE" = "Unknown" -o "$PTYPE" = "UNKNOWN" ] ; then
PTYPE=9991
fi
if [ "$HNAME" = localhost ]
then
echo "Canceling print jobs for $QNAME on $HNAME"
for j in `lpstat -o | grep -w $QNAME" | awk '{print $1}'`
do
echo ${j}
cancel ${j}
done
/opt/hpnp/bin/removequeue -q$QNAME
echo
echo "/opt/hpnp/bin/addqueue -i $PTYPE -q $QNAME -h $PRTIP"
echo
/opt/hpnp/bin/addqueue -i $PTYPE -q $QNAME -h $PRTIP ; lpstat -p | grep $QNAME
# echo "Sending test print to printer"
# print "Printer succssfully installed on $HNAME" | lp -d $QNAME
else
echo $i
echo "--------------------------------------------------------"
echo "Canceling print jobs for $QNAME on $i"
for j in `ssh ${i} "lpstat -o | grep -w $QNAME" | awk '{print $1}'`
do
echo ${j}
echo "ssh ${i} cancel ${j}"
ssh ${i} cancel ${j}
done
fi
done
ssh $i "lpshut ; sleep 02 ; /opt/hpnp/bin/removequeue -q$QNAME ; sleep 02"
echo
echo "ssh $i /opt/hpnp/bin/addqueue -i $PTYPE -q $QNAME -h $PRTIP"
echo
ssh $i "/opt/hpnp/bin/addqueue -i $PTYPE -q $QNAME -h $PRTIP ; lpsched ; lpstat -p | grep $QNAME"
done < ${MULTIFILE} 2> tlg_printer.log 1>&2
sleep 04
[/CODE]
Here is the output:
--------------------------------------------------------
Canceling print jobs for queuename1 on server1
lpshut: scheduler not running
queuename1 does not exist
ssh server1 /opt/hpnp/bin/addqueue -i 257 -q queuename1 -h 10.10.10.1
queuename1 added to spooler.
scheduler is running
printer queuename1 is idle. enabled since Apr 8 01:18
After this output, it ends, and doesn't do the other printers.
