File contains non-printable characters because "top -n 1" uses escape secuences.
Also do not use ":%" because "99:%" is not correct reply, it should be "99 %" (space, not colon).

Recommendations:
1) use "-b" option for top command
2) use " %" as suffix, not ":%"
2) do not use CPU variable in the script

E.g. this script works fine on our Linux system

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
top -b -n 1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | awk -F" " '{ printf("%s\n",$8) }' | awk -F"%" '{ printf("scriptres:Ok:%d\n",100-$1) }'

Alex,

The script is working but I notice a strange behavior. The values of CPU usage that are logged are different from the ones the script is returning, at least the ones returned by "Let´s try" option of Script Manager. I´ve compared the values from the "Let´s try" to the one´s of top on the machine and looks correct, but the ones been logges are a lot different.

Any idea?

I have created script for my system, you should check it and accommodate for your system. May be you have different version of top utility that displays result in different format

Alex,

This problem is solved. Now I´m facing another one. I´m trying to run a perl script using hostmon. The script runs normally and replies are correct if I run it from DOS prompt or from a remote agent. When I run it using hostmon I get "Script started, no results received".

Any ideas?

Alex,


Just found the problem. I was not using the "cmd /c" before the path to perl interpreter.


Thanks anyway.
