Scripting IP Management

I am a scripting novice/intermediate, familiar with shell/bash (eg: sed, awk,) and learning Python, also have some readability of Perl.
Does anyone know of/use any good scripts that do any or all of below?
- Discover/report subnetting structure (eg, 'show ip route <network> <mask> longer" -- parse, report)
- Discover IP assignments/report utilization (eg, parse "show ip arp" -- and pair to the subnetting discovery)
I am looking for the logic to associate the 'show ip arp' output with a subnet, and report subnet usage utilization for reporting reasons. If readily available, both the specific subnet and the larger aggregate - but I can extrapolate the latter. Something quick and easy to report to ARIN, as opposed to buying a commercial product. (context: I inherited a network that uses spreadsheets for IP management, but has not been maintained and I'd like to audit).

Batch processing with Script Events Manager

Hello all,
I use the Script Events Manager to run a group of actions on a single file during the file open event.
This workflow works well when dealing with a small quantity of files.
Is there an efficient way to apply simultaneously a group of actions to folder of images?
The PSCC Batch processor, Image Processor and Image Processor Pro only allow the use of one action at a time.
I have try creating a combo action which includes a group of actions to run in the Batch Processor and Image Processor.
When doing so I receive an error message from the Image processor and dialogs that from the Batch processor that suspend
the program activity. I have had no luck with a combo droplet as well.

My system has 8 Gb of Ram and 4 processors. I doubt it's the system. I've had problems with CS Master Collection since day one. My main complaint is the ******* tabs and interface. Everything is so chunky. CS2 was smooth as butter. They keep making their products use more RAM and it's ridiculous. The tabs don't help, they only make life harder.
Thanks for the suggestions, I was hoping not to have to reinstall PS, but looks like it's the only option.

Problem with Script Events Manager buttons not showing up

Hi,
First off let me say that the latest release of Adobe products is a steaming pile of @#$#$.
Countless software issues, it's slow, buggy, you name it.
That being said, has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it.
My Script Events Manager is broken. Yes broken. The only buttons I see are "Done" and "Remove". There is no "Add" button so that I can actually add events. Someone please tell me this is user error and that I don't need to reinstall PS.

Script Events Manager like photoshop

Is there any Script event manager available in illustrator as like in photoshop..?

Script Event Manager is a Photoshop script that provides an UI for adding/removing app.notifiers. A quick look at the ESTK Object Viewer for Illustrator does not list notifiers.
You may get a more imformed responce in the Illustrator scripting forum.

Script Events Manager settings don't stick

I'm using Photoshop CS 3 version 10.0 and I can't seem to get Script Events Manager settings to work between launches of the program.
I choose File > Scripts > Script Events Manager.
In the dialog box, I select the Enable Events to Run Scripts/Actions checkbox.
From the Photoshop Event menu I choose Open Document.
I select the Action radio button, then choose the action I want.
I click Add button.
I close Script Events Manager dialog box.
Everything works as intended, until I quit Photoshop and then launch it again, at which point the Script Events Manager settings have reverted to their default state, without my preferred Open action functioning any more.
Is there any way to get my settings to become the new default so I don't have to repeat the above steps every time I launch Photoshop?

Thanks, but I failed to mention I'm running Mac OS X 10.10.2 (Yosemite).
It reminds me of failure to save preferences problems I've had in the past with other apps. Repairing prefs with Disk Utility doesn't help, BTW.
Can anyone tell me the file name and location where this Script Events Manager setting is saved? Perhaps deleting that file and restarting will fix the issue…

Powershell Script - Convert Managed Metadata column Value to string

HI,
I have written a small PowerShell Script to pull records from a SP List and put them in a csv file. Here is the script:
$MyWeb = Get-SPWeb "http://dev-apps:8800/applications/PA"
$MyList = $MyWeb.Lists["Alist"]
$exportlist = @()
$Mylist.Items | foreach {
$obj = New-Object PSObject -Property @{
“PName” = $_["Port Name"]
"AName" = $_["Agent Name"]
"Address 1" = $_["Address 1"]
"Address 2" = $_["Address 1"]
"Address 3" = $_["Address 3"]
"Address 4" = $_["Address 4"]
$exportlist += $obj
$exportlist | Export-Csv -path 'C:\Filename.csv'
The script is running all right, the output file is also created, data is also correct for all columns but 1. This PName is a
Managed metadata type column and the output values I am getting for this column are like this:
"ERICA|a6d1e8fd-1f6b-4e09-9830-d21e35950881"
"CLIVE|24dff17f-a1b5-4abe-ae86-57299e1e098b"
viz. the ["Actual Value"|"its GUID"] (seems so). I do not want this GUID to be included in the result csv. Is there a way to remove it.
P.S. Choice column values are being fetched just file.

Try this (you'll need to add in your other properties)
$items = New-Object psobject
$items | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "AName" -value "" ;
$items | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "PName" -value "" ;
$items | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Address1" -value "" ;
$items | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Address2" -value "" ;
$items | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Address3" -value "";
$exportlist = @();
$Mylist.Items | foreach {
$pname = $_["PName"] -as [Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomyFieldValue];
$obj = $items | Select-Object *;
$obj.AName = $_["AName"];
$obj.PName = $pname.Label;
$obj.Address1 = $_["Address 1"];
$obj.Address2 = $_["Address 2"];
$obj.Address3 = $_["Address 3"];
$exportlist += $obj
$exportlist | Export-Csv -path 'C:\AData.csv'

Disaster Recovery Scripts for Managed Server MSI Startup

I am trying to get some custom start scripts created for each of my managed servers in the event the admin console is down or server gets hosed. We use nodemanager to start the managed servers in a Windows environment. I have about 8 managed servers and they all use the same nodemanager classpath but all have different server start arguments (different memory settings, etc....) so I need to make different custom scripts for each.
Verbose Garbage Collection to Determine Heap Size .....this thread by Jay has been very helpful but so far I am just getting kicked back to the syntax screen like something is wrong in my script. Attached is the script and the output when I run it. Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

whats the right way from these 2 scenarious to create a domain on managed

1. create domain on managed server using configuration wizard. Then point

the domain folder and files will be created.
Yes, the managed server is started in this case at the root directory you specified.
The difference is in the
1. first case we see all scripts like startManagedWeblogic, setenv, boot.properties
etc
this may help(we still dont know) if one wants to bring up managed
server
manually using
startManagedServer.bat without using node manager.Yes, that is correct. You will need to edit the startManagedServer.bat to include
the admin server URL, username and paswword..

2. second case only 2-3 files get created like msi-config.xml and SerializedSystemIni.dat
Basically first case is superset of second case.
What is the experience of people in this regard?

Oracle scripts to manage sql ext to Warehouse Facilities (Create Dimensions, Rollup)

I'm running Oracle 8.0.5 Enterprise Edition on NT.
I used the Oracle assistant to create a new database instance and
i had noticed that sys tables and packages to manage sql dimension extension had been created.
Subsequently I had to re-create the database (because i needed to
modify the db-block size) but now i'm not able to find the Oracle
Scripts that allow me to re-create the appropriate sys-user, tables and packages.
I currecly run the buildall.sql script which run the catalog.sql, catproc.sql etc..
Could anyone tell me which are the right script to run and where are they located?
Thanks in advance,Imma

(Running Win2K Pro, standalone PC 9201 patch2323002)
Yes, I'm getting the same problem, except I get this error message :
ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent
Which apparently means I've got something wrong with my listener configuration and it can't find the external procedure. Seeing as I haven't configured the listener maybe this is the problem?!?!?!
Have you had to configure your listener? If so what did you put in it?

Login Scripts with managed computers

I'm using workgroup manager with computer groups and I want to have a specific script running everytime people login into the client computers.
The problem is : When i select the computer group or the computer itself in workgroup manager and then Preferences > Login > Scripts, i can't upload my script 'cause it's marked grey by the browsing window.
I've checked my script, it's a shell script and it's executable but still...
I've tried with an AppleScript but same story.
How can i make a script compatible with workgroup manager ?

Thanks for the hit, adding .hook extension make the script selectable from WGM, however nothing happens after login with one client computer.
Is there anybody who actually succeeded to use the script option in WGM ?
I want to mount a folder automaticaly after login in specific computers :
So i wrote a shell script :
makedir /Volumes/Directory
mount_afp afp://192.168.220.1/Directory /Volumes/Directory
Saved the script with the .hook extension, made it executable, checked it on the client computer : it works, changed com.apple.loginwindow.plist in the client computer but still nothing !
I don't know what's wrong ?! I'm tired of trying, it's so difficult with OS X compared to Windows and bash script... I'm kind of giving up...

Useful Script to manage saved credentials on windows XP

Hello,
I have the following issue,.
In my environment it is the necessity to remove cached credentials from stored user names and passwords in windows XP OS. There is a hassle to do this manually on all XP computers.
To Automate this process I need a right and useful script to run on all machines to delete the saved credentials.
CMDKEY.exe is the exact solution for me but it don't work on Windows XP machines.
Can you suggest me any other - more helpful script supported for Windows XP..?
For example: to delete cached credentials..
Thanks in advance,

I agree with Bill, but you can use the WS2003 version of cmdkey on XP if you absolutely have to.

Pkgman - a bash script for local package and PKGBUILD management

hi all,
here is a script which manages a local repository and lets you edit
PKGBUILDs and other related files, automatically generates checksums,
build packages, add them to your local repo and so on.
it also has AUR support for submitting tarballs, leaving comments, etc.
get it from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgman/
and AUR package:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17100
you need abs, curl and pacman and optionally namcap and desktop-file-utils.
RTFM online:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/p … n_man_page
first of all copy the pkgman.conf and AUR.conf files from /usr/share/pkgman to ~/.config/pkgman/ or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/pkgman - if ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} is set,
edit these two files and then run
pkgman --runmefirst
pkgman doesn´t install anything. if you want it just builds the package and moves it to your local repository. install it then with pacman.
it also has no dependency handling. there are many other tools which provide this.
the main intention was to keep track of package versions, different PKGBUILD versions and own AUR submitted tarballs; also to keep a clean local repository and clean build directories.
pkgman is stable now. i´m using it for months without any issues.
however, if there are problems or feedback please post them here.
vlad
changelog:
version 2.4:
*pkgman now respects the PKGDEST and SRCDEST variables from makepkg.conf. (though it still moves the src.tar.gz and .pkg.tar.gz to package backup directory).
version 2.5:
*pkgman uses PKGDEST if SRCDEST not set in makepkg.conf.
version 2.6 -> r26:
*changed version system: version 2.6 is now r26!
*minor changes: > pkgman uses now the $SHELL variable.
> new and more comprehensible manpage description (thanks to bender02)
version r27:
*changed SRCDEST since it's only a cache dir. all files (pkg.tar.gz and src.tar.gz) go to PKGDEST.
version r28:
*added new variable ShellCommand to pkgman.conf. Default is $SHELL.
*One might use an external application (like screen or xterm) to switch to build directory and edit files simultaneously.
version r30:
*minor changes. nothing crucial
r32: *OverwriteExistingPackage isn't used anymore. one can delete it from ~/.config/pkgman/pkgman.conf.
*minor changes
version r33:
*"-l|--list" also shows installed package version and available ABS/AUR PKGBUILD version for given package.
*"-a|--abs" can now also be used with other options (like "-e")
r39: * when backing up src.tarballs it asks whether to backup the source file or not
* more detailed "--list" option - also shows if package is installed or not and available ABS/AUR version
* added prompt to clean up directory after makepkg
* when checking pkg.tar.gz also possibility to check for conflicts with files of already installed packages
* use $PAGER instead of less
* --help directly shows the manpage
* --shorthelp shows a brief usage overview
* added a custom prompt, but only when using bash (is somehow experimental - works fine here for me)
* minor internal changes
* pkgman also reads ~/.aurvote file for getting aur name and password. if one already uses aurvote then there is no need for the
~/.config/pkgman/AUR.conf file.
r40: * new manual page & rewrite of usage function
* both option "--flush" and "--flushall" were omitted in favor of the more versatile "--cleanup" option
* pkgman <packagename> checks now if <packagename> is owned by user
* backup option after each editing
* added license
* minor internal changes
r41: * just small bug fixes, nothing crucial.
r42: * more bugs fixed.
r45: * new options added:
> --listversions: list local and available versions of installed packages from LocalPackages directory
> --getownpackages: synchronize local own packages with AUR
* added new variable in pkgman.conf:
> ListOutputInPager: output of, for example, "--list" or "--own" is piped into $PAGER
* added a new optional dependency "desktop-file-utils" for validating desktop entry files
* also supports now auto-generation of sha sums not only md5
* internal fixes due to AUR interface changes:
> use of json interface
> correct parsing of package category
* added 2 proto files (located under /usr/share/pacman):
> proto.desktop: a template for *.desktop files
> PKGBUILD-lib32.proto: a template for lib32 packages for x86_64
* some code changes and fixes
r46: * added new option to pkgman.conf (AutoGenerateSums).
> if AutoGenerateSums=no then pkgman asks whether to generate checksums or not.
> if set to yes it behaves like in former versions.
r52: * "--getownpackages" with more than 100 packages works again
* added new option "--cachecopy":
For each package in CacheCopyList (new variable in pkgman.conf) get existing package from pacman's cache directory - if
CopyPkgFromCache (new variable in pkgman.conf) is set to yes - and/or create a source tarball of PKGBUILD and related files from ABS -
if CopySrcFromABS (new variable in pkgman.conf) is set to yes - and copy them to package backup directory.
* added new variables to pkgman.conf:
> "CacheCopyList=file" - batch backup file, one package per line - default location is "$HOME/.config/pkgman/package.list".
> "CopySrcFromABS=[yes|no]"
> "CopyPkgFromCache=[yes|no]"
* some bugfixes
* docs completed
* CacheCopyList should look like
package1
package2
#this is a comment
! this too
package3
!package4
r54: * renamed "--listversions" option to "--diffversions". makes more sense!
from the man page:
pkgman --diffversions
Show differing ABS/AUR versions of installed packages from LocalPackages.
r55: * minor changes.
r57: * testing release
* added a new option "--rollback":
"pkgman <packagename> --rollback" - checks http://arm.kh.nu for available package versions,
lets you choose one, fetches the package and
moves it to the <packagename> backup directory (if "--repoadd" is used).
r59: * stable release
* new option "--rollback" (see r57):
it checks http://arm.kh.nu (Arch Rollback Machine) for available package versions,
downloads chosen file and moves it to local repository (if "-r|--repoadd" is used).
* posting files/comments/etc to AUR should work now again.
r65: *stable release
* new option "-M,--meta" to create metapackages and add them and their dependencies to local repository.
it searches for deps inside the backup directories, pacman's cache and if the packages are not available, it tries to fetch the missing
dependencies from the Arch Rollback Machine site (http://arm.kh.nu).
r66: * minor fixes
r68: * some bugfixes
* "--repoadd" and "--Reporemove" now accurately removes old packages from LocalRepository
r69: * small bugfixes when listing packages with similar names
* curl retries now 5 times if connection is not established
r75: * "--cachecopy" does not try to dl sourcefiles when backing up ABS PKGBUILDs
* some work on package splitting
* further internal changes
r76: * minor mistakes with "ln" purged
r79: * mostly small changes
* "--cleanup" now also removes uninstalled packages from LocalRepository
r81 & r80: * added AUR v1.6.0 support (use more json)
* small ARM changes ("--rollback")
r85:
* pkgman supports pkg.tar.xz packages
* some code rewrite, bugs purged (hopefully)
r113:
* pkgman now supports building split packages through makepkg.
If you already use pkgman you need to rerun "pkgman --runmefirst" after updating.
* new "-t,--template" option ("pkgman <packagename> --template <alt. packagename> [--pkgbuildversion <version>] [options]").
Useful to create a new PKGBUILD and use an existing one as a template.
* new option: "--conf /path/to/alternate/conf/file" - Specify another configuration file.
* pkgman now uses ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/pkgman or $HOME/.config/pkgman - if first not set - as the default location for its conf files.
r116:
* check inet conection when submitting src tarballs to AUR
* some bugs
* updated manpage on sf
For further details please read the manual page.

I'm having some troubles with it (perhaps missing dependencies, and forgotten hardcoded dirs?):

(I terminated with ctrl-c).
EDIT: errors resolved by correcting the path $HOME/apps/skripte/archscripts/pkgman/share/pkgman to /usr/share/pkgman in the pkgman itself.
