I want to write back the result of the following short script into a custom field to put this at the corresponding machine. How I have to do this?

wmic diskdrive get model

Result is for example:

Model
Generic MassStorageClass USB Device
Samsung SSD 980 PRO 500GB
Generic MassStorageClass USB Device
WDC WD10EZEX-75M2NA0

The result should stored into a custom field for the machine.

Thank you for helping!

The issue is that the output for the script is empty, except for the line "Could not execute automation ad-hoc script shell"

This only occurs when the exit code is greater than 0.

Example below:

Quote

#!/bin/bash
echo "exiting with exit 2"
exit 2

I'd expect the output of the script to be:

Quote

Output

exiting with exit 2

-2

Exit Code

but it looks like this:

Quote

Output

Could not execute automation ad-hoc script shell

-1

Exit Code

What am I doing wrong?

Linux agent 9.2, running on Ubuntu 22.04

Im pretty new to bash programming, this script should be simple, but I cant seem to figure out why it is not working correctly.

Is there something wrong with the syntax of my while loop or last if statement?

I have two VirtualBox machine (Linux, Win10) and both are running under different username.

Since, pulseway is running under root privilege, I should use su to virtualbox user and pass the specific command to shell.

Please update as needed.

Thanks

---------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash
NOW=`date +"%m-%d-%Y-%T"`
SNAPSHOT_NAME_Linux="Linux_$NOW"
SNAPSHOT_NAME_Win10="Win10_$NOW"
SNAPSHOT_DESCRIPTION="Snapshot taken on $NOW"

su -l "vboxusername" -c "/usr/bin/VBoxManage snapshot Linux take "$SNAPSHOT_NAME_Linux" --description "$SNAPSHOT_DESCRIPTION"" &
su -l "vboxusername" -c "/usr/bin/VBoxManage snapshot Win10 take "$SNAPSHOT_NAME_Win10" --description "$SNAPSHOT_DESCRIPTION"" &

exit 0

I noticed by deafult the build-in script don't support update check for Rasperrian I have updated the script simply create new script for linux call it update or how you want it.

#!/bin/bash

detect_os() {
  grep -qis "$*" /etc/issue || grep -qis "$*" /etc/centos-release
}

do_update() {
  echo "Detecting OS ... "

  detect_os "Raspbian GNU/Linux" && echo "Found Raspbian" && dpkg_update && return
  detect_os "Debian GNU/Linux" && echo "Found Debian" && dpkg_update && return
  detect_os "Ubuntu" && echo "Found Ubuntu" && dpkg_update && return
  detect_os "CentOS" && echo "Found CenOS" && yum_update && return
  detect_os "Red Hat" && echo "Found RedHat" && yum_update && return
  detect_os "Fedora" && echo "Found Fedora" && yum_update && return
  detect_os "SUSE" && echo "Found SuSE" && zypper_update && return
}

dpkg_update() {
 if [ -x "/usr/bin/apt-get" ];
 then
   echo "Starting update ..."
   apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
 else
   echo "'apt-get' package manager not found"
 fi
}

yum_update() {
 if [ -x "/usr/bin/yum" ];
 then
   echo "Starting update ..."
   yum update -y && yum upgrade -y
 else
   echo "'yum' package manager not found"
 fi
}

zypper_update() {
 if [ -x "/usr/bin/zypper" ];
 then
   echo "Starting update ..."
   zypper --non-interactive update
 else
   echo "'zypper' package manager not found"
 fi
}

do_update

So as I start to get used to Pulseway, here's quick script I've made up to change the *Nix/Win computer group on the fly. I haven't yet found an easier way to do it yet.  This seems to work for me so hopefully it helps someone else.

I've just created a Script Category and added a version of this script per customer/group in this folder.  So create your script edit the Group below to suite your requirements.

Linux/Bash Tab

#!/bin/bash
if [ -f /bin/sed ] 
then
cp /etc/pulseway/config.xml /etc/pulseway/config.xml.backup
/bin/sed -i '/<ComputerInformation Name="" Group="/c\<ComputerInformation Name="" Group="My Company - Linux Servers"/>' /etc/pulseway/config.xml
else
echo "Sed not found!"
fi

Windows/Powershell Tab

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name GroupName -Value "My Company - Windows Servers"

Just in case, somebody who also need like me.

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/apt-get -qy update > /dev/null
/usr/bin/apt-get -qy dist-upgrade > /dev/null
exit 0
