cactid and Script/Command

[naag]

I have written a bash script which parses MIMEDefang logmessages and returns mail statistics such as how many spams or viruses were detected. This script worked perfectly in combination with cacti-0.8.6e cmd.php. However, after switching to cactid-0.8.6e only four of ten output values were recognized by the poller.

It turned out that the following lines in my script caused the error:

Code: Select all

echo -n "mail_in:${mail_in} mail_out_relay:${mail_out_relay} mail_out_auth:${mail_out_auth} mail_out_drac:${mail_out_drac} "
echo -n "message_partial:${message_partial} non_multipart:${non_multipart} spam:${spam} virus:${virus} "
echo    "suspicious_chars:${suspicious_chars} mail_sum:${mail_sum}"

I then replaced these lines with the following ones:

Code: Select all

result="mail_in:${mail_in} mail_out_relay:${mail_out_relay} mail_out_auth:${mail_out_auth} mail_out_drac:${mail_out_drac}"
result="${result} message_partial:${message_partial} non_multipart:${non_multipart} spam:${spam} virus:${virus}"
result="${result} suspicious_chars:${suspicious_chars} mail_sum:${mail_sum}"

echo "${result}"

So you may not use multiple echo-s because cactid will recognize the end of the script output after it completed it's first echo command. It was a little hard to find out, as you only see one output line when executing the script on a shell. Never use "echo -n" in combination with cactid

Now cactid-0.8.6e works like a charm, almost 10 times faster than cmd.php. Thanks for all the great work
