Alert-Triggered Script Examples

Example 1: An Alert-Triggered Windows Script

This sample script is a Windows .bat file. It outputs the parameter values you pass to it to a text file. Windows batch files support only nine arguments. (Arg0, the name of the script, is not counted.)

@echo off
@echo. >> stest.txt
@echo %date% %time% >> stest.txt
@echo arg0: %0 >> stest.txt
@echo arg1: %1 >> stest.txt
@echo arg2: %2 >> stest.txt
@echo arg3: %3 >> stest.txt
@echo arg4: %4 >> stest.txt
@echo arg5: %5 >> stest.txt
@echo arg6: %6 >> stest.txt
@echo arg7: %7 >> stest.txt
@echo arg8: %8 >> stest.txt
@echo arg9: %9 >> stest.txt
@echo. >> stest.txt

This is a sample execution parameter string for the script above:

Time:%Time% 
Severity:%Severity% 
Resource:%Resource% 
Server:%Top_resource% 
KPI:%KPI% 
State:%Current_state% 
URL:%SCC_URL%

The script’s ouput might look like this:

Tue 12/15/2009 14:54:45.58 
arg0: C:\project\sccmain\script-test.bat 
arg1: Time:"Mon Dec 21 21:30:04 2009" 
arg2: Severity:CRITICAL 
arg3: Resource:"SCC Tester 1" 
arg4: Server:"SCC Tester 1" 
arg5: KPI:kpi_scc_mostate_primary 
arg6: State:ERROR 
arg7: HYPERLINK "http://ik-scc.sybase.com:8282/scc"URL:http://ik-scc.sybase.com:8282/scc 
arg8: 
arg9:

Example 2: An Alert-Triggered UNIX Script

This is a UNIX script. Like the Windows script above, it outputs the parameter values you pass to it to a text file.

#!/bin/sh
outfile=/testing/latest/scriptTest.out
echo> $outfile
echo `date` >> $outfile
count=1
while [ "$1" ]
do
  echo arg$count: $1 >> $outfile
  shift
  count=`expr $count + 1`
done
echo --- DONE --- >> $outfile
