Hi everyone,
I'd like to know how to make an agent create a file on a remote host via a shell script.
I've already done a little script which should store configuration informations in a specific file, that script works well localy but when i make the RMA execute it, it looks that there is no problem but i don't know where my agent creates my file, i didn't find anything in the main rma folder or in the tmp rma folder.
Do you have any clues please??

Well to precise a bit....
I understood that the agent execute my script as a new process on teh remote host so it should create my file where that process is launched...but where??
My script simply do a "touch" command and then add all information i need in it.
Well, i don't know what to add...
Thx for any rely.

Correct. You should use full path to the file. Glad you managed it to work.
Thank you for your feedback.

Regards,
Max

Hello,

I cann't find my mistake.
I created an Action Profile to run external program. It should be executed by an agent (Unix).

Command line:
/usr/bin/echo %Reply_CStyle% >> /opt/hostmonitor/test.txt

Window mode:
SW_HIDE

After status change, there isn't a file in the specified folder. Why?
The RMA runs correctly and executes a lot of shell script tests, but it doesn't run the command of the Action Profile.

Regards,
ataudte

APPENDIX

I checked the RMA for Unix on the Server. The rma got the permission to run external program (ExecuteAction=1). I restarted the RMA and the HostMonitor, but the command (/usr/bin/echo %Reply_CStyle% >> /opt/hostmonitor/test58.txt) doesn't make an impact.

That's because output redirection (>>) is processed by command shell. In your case shell is not executed.
I would recommend to create simple script, e.g. /usr/rma/testlog.sh
============
#/bin/sh
/usr/bin/echo $1 >> /opt/hostmonitor/test.txt

============

Then HostMonitor can execute the following command
sh /usr/rma/testlog.sh %Reply_CStyle%

Regards
Alex

Hallo Alex,

thanks a lot!
We tried some other shell commands yesterday and fixed the fault ("... >> ..."). Now we know, how to run an external program via RMA for Unix and it works great

Thanks for the trouble,
ataudte
