Running Scripts from EM12C

There is probably a better way of doing this, but I’m going to start with the hard way and then hopefully make it better as I go.

I want a simple script to run a command and email me the results – cool.

I need to ensure that email is going to work from my hosts, so this is editing the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.your.provider')dnl

to

define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.nsw.exemail.com.au’)dnl

some more hacking in this file, this was handy:  http://www.phase2.net/2007/03/sendmail-on-rhel-40-without-dns/

then try and run make from /etc/mail on my OEL 5 machine, get:

[root@E1ENT2 mail]# make
WARNING: 'sendmail.mc' is modified. Please install package sendmail-cf to update your configuration.
WARNING: 'submit.mc' is modified. Please install package sendmail-cf to update your configuration.

ok, now

make

now restart sendmail

service sendmail restart

Great, so now we can script and get emails that things are being done, nice!

mail -s test name@domain.com < /dev/null 2>&1 >> /dev/null

See from above, we can send files to ourself!

So, a script to restart JDE, ohh – so many ways!

I decided on the following

#!/usr/bin/ksh
USERNAME=`whoami`
if [ $USERNAME = 'jde91' ]
  then
    #we are JDE
    $EVRHOME/system/bin32/EndOneWorld.sh > /tmp/EndOneWorld.out
    sleep 15
    $EVRHOME/system/bin32/RunOneWorld.sh >> /tmp/EndOneWorld.out
    sleep 15
    ps -ef |grep jdenet >> /tmp/EndOneWorld.out
    porttest JDE XXXXX DV910 >> /tmp/EndOneWorld.out
    df -k >> /tmp/EndOneWorld.out
    mail -s 'E1 restart complete'  shannon.moir@myriad-it.com < /tmp/EndOneWorld.out 2>&1 >> /dev/null
else
    echo "File not there"
fi

This was saved, then in created an EM12C job to run it.  This was running at jde91

. /home/jde91/.bash_profile; $EVRHOME/system/bin32/restartJDE.ksh
