I'm really sorry to annoy to you again with my problem but it seems I'm about to finish. My goal is to create a bash-script that checks if a IP-address is still online or a scrub is in progress and if not that my systems shuts down. My script, which is currently in use, looks like this
#!/bin/bash
hosts=(
10.10.0.100 #Client 1
10.10.0.101 #Client 2
10.10.0.102 #Client 3
10.10.0.103 #Client 4
10.10.0.104 #Client 5
)
for host in "${hosts[#]}"; do
if ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
echo "No Shutdown - At least one PC ($host) is online"
exit 0
fi
done
echo "No PC is online - Shutdown"
bash shutdown -p now
I did some research and found the following command, to check if my scrub is in progress
if [ $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress') ]; then
echo "No Shutdown - Scrub in progess"
exit 0
fi
But i have problems in combining these two. I want my script to first check the IPs and if they all are offline then check for a scrub before it shuts down the machine. So both if-cases have to be false (ips offline and scrub not in progress) but they should be processed chronological and if the first if-case returns a IP which is online the script should stop.
Maybe somebody can help me?
To check if a command output contains a string, just:
if zpool status | grep -q 'scrub in progress'; then
The [ $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress') ] is invalid. The $( .. ) will expand to multiple words and will run [ scrub in progress ]. Because in is not a valid operator for [, then [ will print an error message and exit with 2. Just check the error status of grep.
For me, the answer is trivial:
hosts=(
10.10.0.100 #Client 1
10.10.0.101 #Client 2
10.10.0.102 #Client 3
10.10.0.103 #Client 4
10.10.0.104 #Client 5
)
for host in "${hosts[#]}"; do
if ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
echo "No Shutdown - At least one PC ($host) is online"
exit 0
fi
done
if $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress'); then
echo "No Shutdown - Scrub in progess"
exit 0
fi
echo "No PC is online and Scrub is not in progress - Shutdown"
shutdown -p now
Or did I miss the point?
Mind a couple of corrections inside of your code: remove the square brackets around the if test and remove the bash before shutdown.
You can negate the exit status by using !
if ! ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
if ! [[ $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress') ]]; then
echo "No PC is online - Shutdown"
bash shutdown -p now
fi
fi
## Add the rest of the script here if both conditions are true.
That basically means both condition are false, meaning there is no host up and scrub is not in progress, the opposite without the !
Check if both conditions are true just remove the !
if ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
if [[ $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress') ]]; then
echo "No Shutdown - At least one PC ($host) is online"
exit 0
fi
fi
Check if hosts are up but scrub is not running.
if ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
if ! [[ $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress') ]]; then
##: Add/run/execute your code here to start scrub.
fi
fi
If Nesting is what you want that would be something like.
for host in "${hosts[#]}"; do
if ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
echo "No Shutdown - At least one PC ($host) is online"
exit 0
elif ! ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
if ! [[ $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress') ]]; then
echo "No PC is online - Shutdown"
bash shutdown -p now
fi
fi
done
You can add the test for zpool inside the first if-statement.
for host in "${hosts[#]}"; do
if ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
if [[ $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress') ]]; then
echo "No Shutdown - At least one PC ($host) is online"
exit 0
fi
fi
elif ! ping -c 1 -i 1 "$host" >/dev/null; then
if ! [[ $(zpool status | grep 'scrub in progress') ]]; then
echo "No PC is online - Shutdown"
bash shutdown -p now
fi
fi
done
The first example set of if-statement should be enough though.

I have a little problem with my bash script
i got a school project where i have to make a bash script to check if the host is up every 5 minuttes and if fails send email
i had problems with the "fi" statement but fixed the error.
now when i run the script i get an error: line 17 to many arguments"
it initiate the ping command (my Anti virus is blocking the ICMP, so i know the ping lines work)
#!/bin/bash
#Server-status script
FAILS=0
EMAIL_ADDRESS="Critical-error#gruppe4.net" ##Email capabilities
SERVER="192.168.1.1" ###Host to check
SLEEP=300 ###Defining Sleep
while true; do
ping -c 1 $SERVER >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then #if ping exits nonzero...
FAILS=$"[FAILS + 1]"
else
FAILS=0
fi
if [ $FAILS -gt 4 ]; then
FAILS=0
echo "Server $SERVER is offline!" \
| mail -s "Server offline" "$EMAIL_ADDRESS"
fi
sleep $SLEEP #check again in SLEEP seconds
done
use declare -i to use FAILS as integer and initialize to 0
declare -i FAILS=0
then sum 1
FAILS=$FAILS+1
here is my code(I've commented the mail commmand):
#!/bin/bash
#Server-status script
declare -i FAILS=0
EMAIL_ADDRESS="Critical-error#gruppe4.net" ##Email capabilities
SERVER="192.168.1.1" ###Host to check
SLEEP=1 ###Defining Sleep
echo "1-FAILS[$FAILS]"
while true; do
ping -c 1 $SERVER >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then #if ping exits nonzero...
FAILS=$FAILS+1
else
FAILS=0
fi
echo "2-FAILS[$FAILS]"
if [ $FAILS -gt 1 ]; then
FAILS=0
echo "Server $SERVER is offline!" # \ | mail -s "Server offline" "$EMAIL_ADDRESS"
fi
sleep $SLEEP #check again in SLEEP seconds
done
output:
sh-4.3$ bash -f main.sh
1-FAILS[0]
2-FAILS[1]
2-FAILS[2]
Server 192.168.1.1 is offline!
2-FAILS[1]
2-FAILS[2]
Server 192.168.1.1 is offline!
2-FAILS[1]
2-FAILS[2]
Server 192.168.1.1 is offline!
2-FAILS[1]
I hope this can help

You are expanding the $FAILS variable with content [FAILS + 1], getting an invalid [] syntax.
Change FAILS=$"[FAILS + 1]" to:
FAILS=$((FAILS+1))
All I want from this script is to ssh to the host, and check if the process is alive, and if it is not, I want the littel script to die.
Does not die though. It stops, and then starts up again on the ssh is successful again.
I want death though.
#!/bin/bash
iterate=0
while [ $iterate -le 20000 ]
do
rc=$?
ssh -q -T coolhost "ps -ef | egrep '[i]cool-process' | grep wrapper "
if [[ $rc -eq 0 ]] ; then
sleep 2
iterate=$((iterate+1 ))
else
break
exit 1
fi
done
It will iterate to 2000, however if the remote process breaks, it will not die. It will not break and exit.
this will work - but won't sleep - if I put a sleep the rc goes to 0 and is never dies.
so this works but is too basic.
#!/bin/bash
set -e
while : ; do
ssh -q -T coolhost "ps -ef | egrep '[i]cool-process' | grep wrapper" > /dev/null 2>&1
done
You set rc=$? before the ssh command, and the last command was the test ([) command, which just succeeded, so when you test if [[ $rc -eq 0 ]] the answer is always 'yes, it does'.
It's best to test the status of ssh directly:
#!/bin/bash
iterate=0
while [ $iterate -le 20000 ]
do
if ssh -q -T coolhost "ps -ef | egrep '[i]cool-process' | grep wrapper"; then
sleep 2
((iterate++))
else
break # or exit 1
fi
done
I'm new in Shellscript, and i'm getting some problems. I need a script to check if the services are running or not, if its not running, and dont exist the flag, start all services. What i'm doing wrong?
#!/bin/bash
file= "$PIN_HOME/apps/DE_BILL_MI_BRM/alarmistica/flags/intervencao.flag"
# Check if services are running
for service in $BRM_SERVICES
do
if [ps -ef | grep $service | grep -v grep | awk 'NR>1{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++)if($i==1) print "Services not running", i}' ]; then
echo $service " is not running correctly"
else
if [ -f "$file" ]; then
echo "Flag exists. The service will not start"
else
echo "$file not found. Starting all services"
pin_ctl start all
fi
fi
done
When ($i==1), the services is not running!
But the results is not corresponding. For exemple, when the services are down, the script dont start the services...
For checking process tables, use pgrep instead.
#!/bin/bash
file= "$PIN_HOME/apps/DE_BILL_MI_BRM/alarmistica/flags/intervencao.flag"
# Check if services are running
for service in $BRM_SERVICES
do
pgrep -f "$service";
exstat=$?; # This checks the exit status
if [ "$exstat" -eq 0 ] && ! [ -f "$file" ]; then
echo "pgrep returned exit status $extstat";
else
echo "$file not found. Starting all services"
pin_ctl start all
fi
done
I want to write a script, that would keep checking if any of the devices in network, that should be online all day long, are really online. I tried to use ping, but
if [ "`ping -c 1 some_ip_here`" ]
then
echo 1
else
echo 0
fi
gives 1 no matter if I enter valid or invalid ip address. How can I check if a specific address (or better any of devices from list of ip addresses) went offline?
Ping returns different exit codes depending on the type of error.
ping 256.256.256.256 ; echo $?
# 68
ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 ; echo $?
# 0
ping -c 1 192.168.1.5 ; echo $?
# 2
0 means host reachable
2 means unreachable
You don't need the backticks in the if statement. You can use this check
if ping -c 1 some_ip_here &> /dev/null
then
echo "success"
else
echo "error"
fi
The if command checks the exit code of the following command (the ping). If the exit code is zero (which means that the command exited successfully) the then block will be executed. If it return a non-zero exit code, then the else block will be executed.
I can think of a one liner like this to run
ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 &> /dev/null && echo success || echo fail
Replace 127.0.0.1 with IP or hostname, replace echo commands with what needs to be done in either case.
Code above will succeed, maybe try with an IP or hostname you know that is not accessible.
Like this:
ping -c 1 google.com &> /dev/null && echo success || echo fail
and this
ping -c 1 lolcatz.ninja &> /dev/null && echo success || echo fail
There is advanced version of ping - "fping", which gives possibility to define the timeout in milliseconds.
#!/bin/bash
IP='192.168.1.1'
fping -c1 -t300 $IP 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null
if [ "$?" = 0 ]
then
echo "Host found"
else
echo "Host not found"
fi
This is a complete bash script which pings target every 5 seconds and logs errors to a file.
Enjoy!
#!/bin/bash
FILE=errors.txt
TARGET=192.168.0.1
touch $FILE
while true;
do
DATE=$(date '+%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S')
ping -c 1 $TARGET &> /dev/null
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "ERROR "$DATE
echo $DATE >> $FILE
else
echo "OK "$DATE
fi
sleep 5
done
FYI,
I just did some test using the method above and if we use multi ping (10 requests)
ping -c10 8.8.8.8 &> /dev/null ; echo $?
the result of multi ping command will be "0" if at least one of ping result reachable,
and "1" in case where all ping requests are unreachable.
up=`fping -r 1 $1 `
if [ -z "${up}" ]; then
printf "Host $1 not responding to ping \n"
else
printf "Host $1 responding to ping \n"
fi
for i in `cat Hostlist`
do
ping -c1 -w2 $i | grep "PING" | awk '{print $2,$3}'
done
This seems to work moderately well in a terminal emulator window. It loops until there's a connection then stops.
#!/bin/bash
# ping in a loop until the net is up
declare -i s=0
declare -i m=0
while ! ping -c1 -w2 8.8.8.8 &> /dev/null ;
do
echo "down" $m:$s
sleep 10
s=s+10
if test $s -ge 60; then
s=0
m=m+1;
fi
done
echo -e "--------->> UP! (connect a speaker) <<--------" \\a
The \a at the end is trying to get a bel char on connect. I've been trying to do this in LXDE/lxpanel but everything halts until I have a network connection again. Having a time started out as a progress indicator because if you look at a window with just "down" on every line you can't even tell it's moving.
I liked the idea of checking a list like:
for i in `cat Hostlist`
do
ping -c1 -w2 $i | grep "PING" | awk '{print $2,$3}'
done
but that snippet doesn't care if a host is unreachable, so is not a great answer IMHO.
I ran with it and wrote
for i in `cat Hostlist`
do
ping -c1 -w2 $i >/dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $i $?
done
And I can then handle each accordingly.
check host every one second and send message when host is reach
while :;do ping -c 1 -w 1 -q 8.8.8.8 &>/dev/null && /root/telegram-send.sh "Host reacheble now" && break || sleep 1;done
I'm thinking that this needs to be changed to a while clause, at the moment it'll wait till all 10000 pings are done, I need it to return when the ping is successful. The program "say" is on OSX it makes the computer speak.
#!/bin/bash
echo begin ping
if ping -c 100000 8.8.8.8 | grep timeout;
then echo `say timeout`;
else echo `say the internet is back up`;
fi
OK I don't have rights to answer my own question so here's my answer for it after playing around:
Thanks, yeah I didn't know about $? until now. Anyway now I've gone and made this. I like that yours doesn't go forever but in my situation I didn't need it to stop until it's finished.
#!/bin/bash
intertube=0
echo "begin ping"
while [ $intertube -ne 1 ]; do
ping -c 3 google.com
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "ping success";
say success
intertube=1;
else
echo "fail ping"
fi
done
echo "fin script"
You probably shouldn't rely on textual output of a command to decide this, especially when the ping command gives you a perfectly good return value:
The ping utility returns an exit status of zero if at least one response was heard from the specified host; a status of two if the transmission was successful but no responses were received; or another value from <sysexits.h> if an error occurred.
In other words, use something like:
((count = 60)) # Maximum number to try.
while [[ $count -ne 0 ]] ; do
ping -c 1 8.8.8.8 # Try once.
rc=$?
if [[ $rc -eq 0 ]] ; then
((count = 1)) # If okay, flag loop exit.
else
sleep 1 # Minimise network storm.
fi
((count = count - 1)) # So we don't go forever.
done
if [[ $rc -eq 0 ]] ; then # Make final determination.
echo `say The internet is back up.`
else
echo `say Timeout.`
fi
You don't need to use echo or grep. You could do this:
ping -oc 100000 8.8.8.8 > /dev/null && say "up" || say "down"
This can also be done with a timeout:
# Ping until timeout or 1 successful packet
ping -w (timeout) -c 1
I use this Bash script to test the internet status every minute on OSX
#address=192.168.1.99 # forced bad address for testing/debugging
address=23.208.224.170 # www.cisco.com
internet=1 # default to internet is up
while true;
do
# %a Day of Week, textual
# %b Month, textual, abbreviated
# %d Day, numeric
# %r Timestamp AM/PM
echo -n $(date +"%a, %b %d, %r") "-- "
ping -c 1 ${address} > /tmp/ping.$
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
if [[ ${internet} -eq 1 ]]; then # edge trigger -- was up now down
echo -n $(say "Internet down") # OSX Text-to-Speech
echo -n "Internet DOWN"
else
echo -n "... still down"
fi
internet=0
else
if [[ ${internet} -eq 0 ]]; then # edge trigger -- was down now up
echo -n $(say "Internet back up") # OSX Text-To-Speech
fi
internet=1
fi
cat /tmp/ping.$ | head -2 | tail -1
sleep 60 ; # sleep 60 seconds =1 min
done
If you use the -o option, BSD ping (which is also on macOS) will exit after receiving one reply packet.
Further reading: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ping
EDIT: paxdiablo makes a very good point about using ping’s exit status to your advantage. I would do something like:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo 'Begin ping'
if ping -oc 100000 8.8.8.8 > /dev/null; then
echo $(say 'timeout')
else
echo $(say 'the Internet is back up')
fi
ping will send up to 100,000 packets and then exit with a failure status—unless it receives one reply packet, in which case it exits with a success status. The if will then execute the appropriate statement.
Here's my one-liner solution:
screen -S internet-check -d -m -- bash -c 'while ! ping -c 1 google.com; do echo -; done; echo Google responding to ping | mail -s internet-back my-email#example.com'
This runs an infinite ping in a new screen session until there is a response, at which point it sends an e-mail to my-email#example.com. Useful in the age of e-mail sent to phones.
(You might want to check that mail is configured correctly by just running echo test | mail -s test my-email#example.com first. Of course you can do whatever you want from done; onwards, sound a bell, start a web browser, use your imagination.)
I liked paxdiablo's script, but wanted a version that ran indefinitely. This version runs ping until a connection is established and then prints a message saying so.
echo "Testing..."
PING_CMD="ping -t 3 -c 1 google.com > /dev/null 2>&1"
eval $PING_CMD
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
echo "Already connected."
else
echo -n "Waiting for connection..."
while true; do
eval $PING_CMD
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
echo
echo Connected.
break
else
sleep 0.5
echo -n .
fi
done
fi
I also have a Gist of this script which I'll update with fixes and improvements as needed.
