tracert results

[rysic]

I want to write some check for Nagios to check tracert from one server to another (to check if connection is working via backup).

My AutoIt stript looks like that:

#include <Constants.au3>

$troute = Run("cmd.exe /c tracert -d -h 1 10.50.10.125", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
Sleep(200)
;MsgBox(0,"tracert",$troute)
$tracert = StdoutRead($troute)
;MsgBox(0,"tracert",$tracert)

$rezultat = StringRegExp ( $tracert, '10\.5[12]\.1?..\.253', 0)
;MsgBox(0,"tracert",$rezultat)
If $rezultat = 1 Then
    ConsoleWrite("network communication is working via primary router")
    Exit(0)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("network communication is working via backup router")
    Exit(2)
EndIf

but in my opinion it is not perfect because of Sleep(200)... so I try to use RunWait

#include <Constants.au3>

$troute = RunWait("cmd.exe /c tracert -d -h 1 10.50.10.125", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
;Sleep(200)
;MsgBox(0,"tracert",$troute)
$tracert = StdoutRead($troute)
MsgBox(0,"tracert",$tracert)

$rezultat = StringRegExp ( $tracert, '10\.5[12]\.1?..\.253', 0)
;MsgBox(0,"tracert",$rezultat)
If $rezultat = 1 Then
    ConsoleWrite("network communication is working via primary router")
    Exit(0)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("network communication is working via backup router")
    Exit(2)
EndIf

but with RunWait, $tracert variable is empty...

Can someone tell me why? THX and sorry for my english

From the helpfile: Run("program") returns the PID, but RunWait("program") returns the program's exit code ...

HTH,

Welcolme to the forum and try like this !

#include <Constants.au3>

$troute = Run("cmd.exe /c tracert -d -h 1 10.50.10.125", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While ProcessExists ( $troute ) 
    $_StderrRead = StderrRead ( $troute )
    If Not @error And $_StderrRead <> '' Then 
        ConsoleWrite ( "STDERR read : " & $_StderrRead & @Crlf )    
    EndIf
    $_StdoutRead = StdoutRead ( $troute )
    If Not @error And $_StdoutRead <> '' Then 
        ConsoleWrite ( "STDOUT read : " & $_StdoutRead & @Crlf )    
    EndIf   
Wend

I think, that it is good idea because with RunWait I must use some tmp file (Am I right?).

Now it looks like that:

#include <Constants.au3>

$troute = Run("cmd.exe /c tracert -d -h 1 10.50.10.125", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
;Sleep(200)

$tracert=""

While ProcessExists ( $troute ) 
    $_StderrRead = StderrRead ( $troute )
    If Not @error And $_StderrRead <> '' Then 
        ConsoleWrite ( "STDERR read : " & $_StderrRead & @Crlf )    
    EndIf
    $_StdoutRead = StdoutRead ( $troute )
    If Not @error And $_StdoutRead <> '' Then 
        $rezultat = StringRegExp ( $_StdoutRead, '10\.5[12]\.1?..\.253', 0)
        If $rezultat = 1 Then
            ;MsgBox(0,"tracert",$_StdoutRead)
            ConsoleWrite("network communication is working via primary router")
            Exit(0)
        EndIf
    EndIf   
Wend

    ConsoleWrite("network communication is working via backup router")
    Exit(2)

And works very well. Thanks!

I red that: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/StdoutRead.htm and i don't see any problem... but I'm not programmer

I didn't say there was a problem, but if you wanted more precisions, then see this function in helpfile !

What do you meen by helpfile? AutoIt3Help.exe in AutoIt directory??? If yes, in that file is the same page as here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/StdoutRead.htm

typos = typographical errors, usually Spelling mistakes.

Well... I still learn English

[GEOSoft]

Nobody was faulting you for anything and believe me when I say that we see a lot of people here whose native language is not English. The ones that annoy me are the ones who have English as their native tongue and still insist on typing jibberish or won't take the time to check what they have typed. We all do that at times and in whims case he checked it a bit too late so he came back and edited the post to make the corrections hence the use of "Edit typo". He was just explaining why the post showed as having been edited.

OK! I understand it now! In Poland we have also so many people who don't care about mistakes in native language... but we have so many ambitious moderators too Well... enough that off topic
