RE: [Bigsister-general] re: Bbscript question

["david d" <suppressed>]

I was able to get the openmanage script to work using a different
method.  Instead of bbscript, I used command.

The line in uxmon-net looks like this (all one line):

localhost	exec="/bigsis/openmanage.cmd" time=120
results=green:green:Ok;yellow:yellow:Warning;timeout:red:ERROR;red:red:E
RROR command

(I think the red:red:ERROR should be something else, maybe *:red:Error.)

I also had to change the openmanage script slightly.  Once the script
created the report/output file, I changed it to "type" file, which
directed it to stdin for command to send it to uxmon.  The other change
was to have the  openmanage script delete the report/output file.

The bin/bbecho command is not present in the MSI distribution.  I looked
at other bigbrother (unix) scripts where the file is output using $bb
$bbdisp etc, but the $bb environment variable resolves to bin/bbecho. 

I'm starting a migration from bigbrother to bigsister and this was
almost a show-stopper for us.  We have become dependent on the openmange
monitor script for our servers, especially for the servers at remote
locations.  (Now to work on alarm notifications <G>.)

I  just recently started testing out bigsister and have the same
question! I wasn't able to figure out how to get any of the deadcat.net
scripts to run. I started out with the much simpler ping script- no
luck. Any gurus out there want to pitch in (and perhaps update the
documentation..) on how to use bbscripts?
