SSH, StderrRead

[PsaltyDS]

... you couldn't pay for a better service.

Well, now maybe...

[PsaltyDS]

ohh yes it was an image

but sometimes for recurrent information retrieval (like cpu) it's really boring to log on by putty, enter user/pass and execute a command

this open up some ways, that's just what i wanted to say

Instead of pulling that info, I would get a background process on each machine pushing it regularly to SYSLOG or some other networked log file. Your admin process just needs to monitor that log and see if anybody hasn't checked in on time.

[arcker]

you can pull or retrieve, that's a question of philosophy after

imagine that your server that "receives" all of this syslog just come down...

i always prefer a server that will take the info, rather than all of my clients have some rights to send their data to it

I know that this is not the original topic, but do you know a good & simple to install sshd for windows? Would be extremly cool to control windows from linux. I messed around with tcp-ip some time ago but I'm a little bit too shy to install this thing on our server. It would just be the perfect solution if I could monitor our network with nagios and exec commands if needed. (Currently I get some sms, that's huge, but "selfhealing" would be much nicer )

go check winnrpe_nt

that's what i've installed on our monitored servers and i've developed more script in autoit (compatible) to make more request

I just wanted to say that thanks to the advice given by PsaltyDS I have managed to get my program working:

I can now automate various functions to my entire network over SSH (previously I had been using telnet - but for obvious reasons I changed). Here is the basic code, of course you need an ini file containing the host list and Plink installed.

expandcollapse popup

#include <Constants.au3>


$numswitches = IniRead( "C:\myfile1.ini", "Switches", "Count", "0" )

for $x = 0 to $numswitches

$hostname = IniRead( "C:\myfile1.ini", "Switches", ( "Switch" & $x ) , "0" )




Dim $szIPADDRESS = TCPNameToIP($hostname)

$PID = Run(@comspec & " /c c:\plink.exe " &$hostname& " -pw xxxxx -l * -ssh ","",@SW_SHOW,$STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD + $STDERR_CHILD)
DIM $sSTDOUT = "", $sSTDERR = ""
Do
    Sleep(10000)
    If StdoutRead($PID, 0, True) Then $sSTDOUT &= StdoutRead($PID) 
    If StderrRead($PID, 0, True) Then $sSTDERR &= StderrRead($PID) 
    
    If StringInStr ($sSTDERR, "The server's host key") Then 
        no_RSA_key()
   
    Else
        normal()
        EndIf
    
    ProcessClose($PID)

Until Not ProcessExists($PID)

Haha very apt

Hell, that's so cool. I could kick my ass that I haven't played around with this thing.
