Help in writing scripts for monitoring

Hi All,
I am in the position to write scripts for monitoring JVM and JDBC. I know the concept of confiuration MBean and run Time MBean.I planned to use WLShell scripting.In my organization using WLShell is not preferred by anyone. I
dont have any further idea about it. Any other possibilies are there to list the paramters of JVM and JDBC using any scripting.Please help me regrding this.

I solved that problem.Now i could enter into intractive mode.but couldnt connect to server using connect('weblogic','weblogic','t3://localhost:7001').The servers are up and running.
I am getting the following error.

JMX script for monitoring JMS servers in a cluster

hi
I am new to writing scripts. I will appreciate if I can get some help in writing a JMX script for monitoring JMS Servers in a cluster a well as monitoring the distributed queues
thanks

Exact scenario is,
          JMS Server
          |
          DistributedQueue
          | |
          JMSrvr1 JMSrvr2
          Q1 Q3
          Q2 Q4
          Q1 and Q2 delegateing messages, and at the same time Q3,Q4 also delegating messages.
          If JMSrvr1 down, we need to merge Q1 and Q2 with JMSrvr2. Here we cannot migrate as, JMSrvr already have queues. We need to merge all these queues.
          Thanks and Regards,

Need help in creating script for "Task Schedule" in Oracle E-Bussiness Suit

Hi,
I need some urgent help regarding the scripting of Oracle E-Business Suite application. I am new towards working on Oracle Applications. I have been using LoadRunner 11.0 and protocol oracle applications 11i for the scripting of the application. The problem is as follows:
Scenario- Schedule an incident to a resource.
1) Log in to the application.
2) Open Oracle Forms Page.
3) Enter the details of the incident number.
4) Right click on the incident number and then select “schedule” option.
5) Check / Select the resource listed in the new form.
6) Click on “schedule” Button.
7) Exit the oracle forms.
8) Logout from the application.
I have recorded the scenario but when I try to run the script, it fails after completing the 4th step from the scenario mentioned above. I have done all the required co-relations..
Another issue that I have noticed in the scipt is that it records a lot of requests to the AppsTCFServer.
When I check the Tree View of the script, I have found that there are around 25 requests to the AppsTCFServer recorded in the script. In the header of these requests a TCF Start/Session number gets generated randomly. This number stays the same in few AppsTCFServer request headers and then a new number gets generated and the cycle continues.
However LoadRunner does not generate this number by itself during replay. I cannot find this number in any previous responses.
In the last few days, I have tried my hands on Oracle Openscript tool to record the above scenario, but still I am getting the same problem, i.e instead of getting the correct response from the server for the AppsTCFServer requests, I am getting the message "X-session 7098.... not found - aborting ".
I get this message whether I use LoadRunner tool or the OpenScript tool.
Please help me solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Soumya Mukherjee

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Helpful Linux Bash Scripts for I.T. Admins

I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for helpful / simple Bash scripts that do helpful tasks in regards to Linux system administration? I have never created or used a Bash shell script but know that many of you guys do. I have no programming experience what so ever so decided to ask if you guys do have one or few scripts that are useful in basic administration tasks, could you please post them or at least point someone who is interested in the right direction?
Thank you so much!

I'm no sysadmin but one were to use command-line a lot i would give ZSH a shot. A nicely configured zsh shell can be unbelievably comfortable and is certainly a great tool.
As for scripts I always thought of them as little helpers customized for certain situations. For instance easing repetitive tasks, batching some steps and timing/automating little things. For general purpose I'd probably look at available software first.
Maybe tmux for terminal management, ranger for file management, a tiling window manager for efficiency, ssh and other survaillance/maintenance software? Personally, I'd very much like to hear, too, what software/scripts/.. linux systems admins use to keep the work to a minimum .

NEED a java coder to help with a script for a programs of mine.

I play a game, very competitively, and need someone to make and compile a script for me. I am willing to pay upwards of 100 USD for this script made to MY standards. There will be a lot of work involved...Probably 12 hours studying my game and the purpose of the script(s). I will be buying 2-3 scripts, at roughly 50-100 USD each, depending on the quality. I will transfer the money via paypal, or other means if we can reach an agreement.
Please IM me at Chadtrapier on AIM or send an email to [email protected]
Or...Add me on MSN - [email protected]
We can reach an agreement with these scripts...
Thank you, I will also check this thread, so reply if you would like.
~Chad

Ummm. Do you think that's a lot of money or something? Think in the range of 40-60 per hour. And if you're talking about warcraft I don't think they java hooks to make bots. I think you need to figure out what your problem is first and maybe learn to code them yourself.

Need help writing script for Digital DAQ

Hello,
I am trying to write an aquisition program for digital input coming from a hall sensor. I will be passing a magnet over a hall sensor on a motor and want to record the number of rotations. I have pasted together a script based on various websites, but it isn't functioning the way I want. I would like to be able to collect data points indefinately, or fixed, and then print out the resulting count. I have attepted to use the ctypes wrapper in Python. The NI functions remain unchanged though, so if you don't know Python it shouldn't be a problem to read. I am using a NI PCI-6503.
NI PCI-6503
NI PCI-6503
NI PCI-6503
The code:
# C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Analog In\Measure Voltage\Acq-Int Clk\Acq-IntClk.c
import ctypes
import numpy
nidaq = ctypes.windll.nicaiu # load the DLL
# Setup some typedefs and constants
# to correspond with values in
# C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\DAQmx ANSI C Dev\include\NIDAQmx.h
# the typedefs
int32 = ctypes.c_long
uInt32 = ctypes.c_ulong
uInt64 = ctypes.c_ulonglong
float64 = ctypes.c_double
TaskHandle = uInt32
# the constants
DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines = int32(0)
def CHK(err):
"""a simple error checking routine"""
if err < 0:
buf_size = 200
buf = ctypes.create_string_buffer('\000' * buf_size)
nidaq.DAQmxGetErrorString(err,ctypes.byref(buf),buf_size)
raise RuntimeError('nidaq call failed with error %d: %s'%(err,repr(buf.value)))
# initialize variables
taskHandle = TaskHandle(0)
max_num_samples = 1000
# array to gather points
data = numpy.zeros((max_num_samples,),dtype=numpy.float64)
# now, on with the program
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxCreateTask("",ctypes.byref(taskHandle)))
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxCreateDIChan(taskHandle,'Dev1/port1/line1',"", DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines))
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle))
read = int32()
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxReadDigitalU32(taskHandle,int32(-1),float64(1),DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data.ctypes.data,max_num_samples,ctypes.byref(read),None))
print "Acquired %d points"%(read.value)
if taskHandle.value != 0:
nidaq.DAQmxStopTask(taskHandle)
nidaq.DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle)
print "End of program, press Enter key to quit"
raw_input()
This script returns "Acquired 1 points" immediately, regardless of how many times the hall sensor has been switched.
I apologize for the sloppy code, but I understand very little of the underlying principles of these DAQ functions, despite reading their documentation. Seeing as how the code does not return an error, I am hoping there is just a minor tweak or two that will be farily obvious to someone with more experience.
Thanks

Hey Daniel,
Most of this script is from http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Data_Acquisition_with_NIDAQmx.

Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

Hi,
I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
The commands are
1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
2) delete files from x location
3) run .exe app from y location
4) close that running app
5) move files from z to y
Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
Thanks alot ahead!
Jordan.

hmm 2 questions:
1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
how do I get permission or something to fix that?
2) on the "move" command..
First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out..
but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
and all I see is ability to move a file..
Is this possible?
Thanks

Help creating a script for backup

Hi everybody,
I would like to make some backups using rman and recovery flash area on oracle10g on my Debian.
I would like to make a full backup level 0 on Sunday and make incremental backups from Monday to saturday.The best would be to have one for hot backup and one for cold backups.
But I am wondering how to schedule a task using rman. For example is it possible to write a script that would make the backups at a desired time executed by oracle?
Or do I have to create a script on unix that should be executed by cron?
You know I am really bad at scripting, but it would really help me if you could help me creating a script that would make the backup automatically on sunday at midnight and incremental eveydays until sunday.Here is the information I need to put in a script:
#flash recovery area creation under sqlplus
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE = 10g SCOPE=BOTH SID='*';
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST = '/home/oracle/flash_recovery_area' SCOPE=BOTH SID='*';
#setting the default variable
ORACLE_SID=iscream;
#connect to target database:
rman TARGET SYS/oracle@iscream NOCATALOG
#set the defaults values for rman
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
Any help will be appreciated
synthese
hot backup
using rman
using flash_recovery_area
full backup set compressed on sunday
incremental backup set compressed from mondy to saturday
using disk
policy retenttion 7 days
redondance 2

You can backup using some unix shell scripts.
rman is not really good one.

Help with a script for elder friend

First off, with apologies, I am not a script familar person at all. I have an elderly friend who is switching to Mac for the first time. I wanted a way to close all open programs, with a prompt to save any open files and then run a Time Machine backup and shut down - preferably without restarting next day with any windows opening automatically. Time Machine is set to run every hour but she's a writer and could lose work if Time Machine doesn't run before shutting down for the night. So I searched and found some small scripts that I tried to put together. I think it works but after Time Machine runs it waits a very long time before shutting down. I'm wondering if some of you kind folks could refine this for me. (I do realize that automator has a quit all programs that I can save as an app but I'm trying to make this a one step 'app' process.)
So what I have is this:
tell application "System Events" to set the visible of every process to true
set white_list to {"Finder"}
try
          tell application "Finder"
                    set process_list to the name of every process whose visible is true
          end tell
          repeat with i from 1 to (number of items in process_list)
                    set this_process to item i of the process_list
                    if this_process is not in white_list then
                              tell application this_process
                                        quit
                              end tell
                    end if
          end repeat
on error
          tell the current application to display dialog "An error has occurred!" & return & "This script will now quit" buttons {"Quit"} default button 1 with icon 0
end try
do shell script "/bin/bash -c '/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/backupd-helper > /dev/null 2>&1 &'"
repeat
delay 5
          if not IsProcRunning("backupd") then
                    ignoring application responses
                              tell application "Finder" to shut down
                    end ignoring
                    exit repeat
          end if
end repeat
on IsProcRunning(theProc)
          try
                    do shell script "ps auxc | grep \"" & theProc & "\""
                    return true
          on error
                    return false
          end try
end IsProcRunning
.... frankly I don't understand most of this in reality but it's a need I'd like to help her with on her Mac Mini.
Many Thanks,
Brenda

First off, you're overthinking this. There's no reason why your friend would lose any data by not backing up prior to shutdown (unless she has a flaky hard drive that needs to be replaced). Assuming she's saving her work when she quits her apps, she should be fine.
Second, trying to auto-quit applications is dangerous. You don't check to see if any files need to be saved (there's no easy way to make that check anyway), and that in itself could cause data loss.
Third, time machine has its own command line utility: tmutil. There's no reason to script backupd.
Last, if I remember correctly, whether or not apps and windows reopen at startup can be set on a system-wide or per-application basis.
Give a clearer and more specific description of the goals you're trying to accomplish: what kind of apps are likely to be open, which of them will/might need to save data, what you want the machine to look like on restart, all with details. That would help a lot.

Help With dynamic scripting for Dervied Property

Hi,
I am trying to get the the list of child nodes and then loopthorugh those nodes to do some calculation in a derived propety using dynamic scripting. I tried with below script.
var childEnumerator = node.GetChildEnumerator();
while(childEnumerator.MoveNext())
    var propValue = childEnumerator.GetCurrent().PropValue("Custom.Salary");
    print(propValue);
While Evaluating this script I am getting below mentioned error. Any idea what i am missing here?
DRM-16008: There was an error calculating Script property Custom.TotalSalaryExp for EMP_Zone/Emp/PPD1: TypeError: 'GetChildEnumerator' is not a function
Please help me out. thanks fr your co-operation
Regards,

Try this instead...
var childEnumerator = node.GetChildEnumerator();
childEnumerator.MoveNext();
while(childEnumerator.GetCurrent() != null)
    var propValue = childEnumerator.GetCurrent().PropValue("Custom.Salary");
    print(propValue);
childEnumerator.MoveNext();

Help with understanding script for rotating objects

Hi all
would some help me with this, I am trying to understand what part of AS3 script says loop through(create a continues 360 loop of objects) the images from an XML file, does this make any sense.
in my script I have this
for(var i:int = 0; i < images.length(); i++)
is this the part that says loop the images/objects
this is a little more to the script including the above to maybe understand better?
private function onXMLComplete(event:Event):void
// Create an XML Object from loaded data
var data:XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
// Now we can parse it
var images:XMLList = data.image;
for(var i:int = 0; i < images.length(); i++) <<<<<<<<FROM ABOVE ///        {
// Get info from XML node
var imageName:String = images[i].@name;
var imagePath:String = images[i].@path;
var titles:String = images[i].@title;
var texts:String = images[i].@text;
any help would be great

hi rob
ok I found this menu which rotates item around on a 360 wheel trying to see if I can use the same script on my menu,
link to example: http://art.clubworldgroup.com/menu/R...g_menu_AS3.zip
I have highlighted in blue what creates the loop of items
in my menu I do ot have anything like
var angleDifference:Number = Math.PI * (360 / NUMBER_OF_ITEMS) / 180;
which sest up the 360 circle of the item
//Save the center coordinates of the stage
var centerX:Number=stage.stageWidth/2;
var centerY:Number=stage.stageHeight/2;
//The number of items we will have (feel free to change!)
var NUMBER_OF_ITEMS:uint=15;
//Radius of the menu circle (horizontal and vertical)
var radiusX:Number=200;
var radiusY:Number=200;
//Angle difference between the items (in radians)
var angleDifference:Number = Math.PI * (360 / NUMBER_OF_ITEMS) / 180;
//How fast a single circle moves (we calculate the speed
//according to the mouse position later on...)
var angleSpeed:Number=0;
//Scaling speed of a single circle
var scaleSpeed:Number=0.0002;
//This vector holds all the items
//(this could also be an array...)
var itemVector:Vector.<Item>=new Vector.<Item>;
//This loop creates the items and positions them
//on the stage
for (var i:uint = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_ITEMS; i++) {
    //Create a new menu item
    var item:Item = new Item();
    //Get the angle for the item (we space the items evenly)
   var startingAngle:Number=angleDifference*i;
    //Set the x and y coordinates
    item.x=centerX+radiusX*Math.cos(startingAngle);
    item.y=centerY+radiusY*Math.sin(startingAngle);
    //Save the starting angle of the item.
    //(We have declared the Item class to be dymamic. Therefore,
    //we can create new properties dynamically.)
    item.angle=startingAngle;
    //Add an item number to the item's text field
    item.itemText.text=i.toString();
    //Allow no mouse children
    item.mouseChildren=false;
    //Add the item to the vector
    itemVector.push(item);
    //Add the item to the stage
    addChild(item);
//We use ENTER_FRAME to animate the items
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
//This function is called in each frame
function enterFrameHandler(e:Event):void {
    //Calculate the angle speed according to mouse position
    angleSpeed = (mouseY - centerY) / 5000;
    //Loop through the vector
    for (var i:uint = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_ITEMS; i++) {
        //Save the item to a local variable
        var item:Item=itemVector[i];
        //Update the angle
        item.angle+=angleSpeed;
        //Set the new coordinates
        item.x=centerX+radiusX*Math.sin(item.angle);
        item.y=centerY+radiusY*Math.cos(item.angle);
        //Calculate the vertical distance from centerY to the item
        var dx:Number=centerX-item.x;
        //Scale the item according to vertical distance
        //item.scaleX = (dx / radiusX);
        //If we are above centerY, double the y scale
        if (item.x<centerX) {
            item.scaleX*=1;
        //Set the x scale to be the same as y scale
        item.scaleY=item.scaleX;
        //Adjust the alpha according to y scale
        item.alpha=item.scaleX+1.9;
