I have a few hosts that use Megaraid controllers. Could someone please show me an effective way to monitor the status? I've used the software on dells website, and the only program partly useful was Megamon, which is a gui menu based program that runs on the shell, I've written an expect script that gives me the proper output when I run the program on that shell, but it does not work from within crontab / ssh hostname "command".
Problems like that are almost always due to a difference in the shell environments of your login shell and crontab. Make sure all your paths are explicit and stuff (that's a technical term, son) like that.
If anyone could please tell me of either an alternative way / or how I can get my expect script to work through crontab, I'd greatly apreciate it!
I have a (very/embarrassingly) crude script which uses megarc (downloaded directly from LSI). It greps the output of "megarc -dispCfg -a0" for DEGRADED. If it finds that then it emails me and also touches a state file so it doesn't continue mailing me every 15 minutes (which is how often I run it).
