Shell Script: Error: Invalid result (ÿþ2

[spike05]

I've a script that count the number of used citrix licenses.

Code: Select all

$statusOk  = "ScriptRes:Ok:" 
$statusBad = "ScriptRes:Bad:"
$Limit = $args[0]
$res = (Get-WmiObject -class "Citrix_GT_License_Pool" -Namespace "root\CitrixLicensing" -ComputerName server |Measure-Object -Property InUseCount -sum).Sum
if ($res -gt $Limit) 
{ 
echo $statusBad$res
} 
else 
{ 
echo $statusOk$res
}

The script works in the "Lets try" tab. But when i run it as a normal test i get the error "Error: Invalid result (ÿþ2"

What am i doing wrong?

Could you please check if you have
SScript_UseWindowsPipe=0
parameter in [misc] section of your hostmon.ini file?

Try changing it to:
SScript_UseWindowsPipe=1

HostMonitor restart is required.

Hello,

The SScript_UseWindowsPipe= wasn't present in the file. I added the line

[misc]
SScript_UseWindowsPipe=1

and tested with a 1 and a 0 no success

edit:
even something as simple as

Code: Select all

echo "ScriptRes:Ok:Test Ok" 

Returns the error

Could you give more details:
1. What HostMonitor version do you use?
2. What Windows/Service pack do you use?
3. HostMonitor started as Application or Service?
4. What User account is used for Windows Service (services.msc) and in "Service" page of HostMontor Options dialog (local admin, domain admin, BUILt-IN Administrator)?
5. Could you start simplified script for testing:

Code: Select all

$statusOk  = "ScriptRes:Ok:" 
$statusBad = "ScriptRes:Bad:" 
$res = "noData"
echo $statusOk$res

What is test Status and Reply with this script?

[spike05]

1. v10.50
2. running windows 7 enterprise SP1
3. as a service
4. Local system account (administrator) , running as domain admin

Could you select "Local system account" on Service page of HostMonitor Options dialog and restart HostMonitor service?
Domain admin account can be specified in services.msc

I've tried, but i'm getting the error "Unable to start script. A required privilege is not held by the client"

Could you assign "Replace a process level token" privilege to your domain admin account on the machine, where HostMonitor is running ("Administrative Tools" -> "Local Security Policy" applet -> "Local Policies" -> "User Rights Assignment")?
If this will not help, switching to Local system account on services.msc should work for you.
