[Samba] [OT] *nix Server/Windows Client Tips and tricks
Sorry if this is too off topic, but one of the things
that happens when you use a *nix box is you have
opportunities to do some nifty tricks with shell
scripts and whatnot to help maintain your network.
Sometimes, this comes at the expense of using the
tools that come with some windows software and is
the result of necessity. Other times, this comes
because the "nifty" tools that come with other
Windows software is inadequate for your needs.
Yet other times it comes because you need to look
busy and your boss is pacing outside your office.
In the interest of learning what others have done,
I'm going to post a couple of scripts that I've
come up with to take care of some maintenance
tasks on my network. I encourage others to do
the same, but only if this is well received and
isn't considered noise. The scripts I'm interested
in in this particular case are scripts that help
maintain a Samba network specifically, or a *nix
server in a Windows client environment generally.
For example, the first script I'm going to share
is a script that connects to the client machines
in my domain and retrieve my AV logs, process them
and return the results. My AV vendor (Sophos) has
tools for this, but they were more complex to set
up than this was to write, and would have simply
emailed the logs to me on a per machine basis --
which wasn't what I wanted and not very useful.
The second script is just a backup script that
backs up the samba server to a removable hard
drive (IEEE-1394) that gets rotated every
night. Nobody worry, this is a supplementary
backup. :)
I realize both of these scripts are kind of
simple and sophomoric, but this is more of an
"let's get ideas" thing than it is a "let's
get specific details" thing. I just want to
encourage more code sharing. I know I hate
banging my head on something for hours and hours
only to find that someone else did the same
thing with a 2 line perl script 2 years ago
and only piped up when I mention that I finished
some task. :)
I've annotated the scripts a little bit for
your entertainment.
--J(K)
First script:
---begin---
#!/bin/sh
# getsophoslogs
# just a quickie to get the Sophos logs from the workstations,
# and check them to see if Sophos has detected any viruses
# and/or errors.
#
# this script makes the assumption that you use
# Sophos and you have a Sophos user defined for
# your network. This is a requirement of Sophos
# Enterprise Library, although I make the further
# requirement that the user is the same on every
# workstation.
#
# you also must be using WINS and have Sophos installed
# at the default location on every client machine.
