Re: defining classes based on returning results of (shell) commands?

[David E. Nelson]

Hi Robinson,

How about leveraging 'egrep'?  For example, I use something like the following 
in my 'groups:' section:

WrongOptLocal = ( ReturnsZero(/bin/sh -c "PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin ; 
mount | egrep 'filer:/vol/vol0/opt/local' > /dev/null 2>&1") )

Use regex w/ egrep to get as specific as you want.

And then in 'alerts:' I have:

alerts:

  WrongOptLocal::

    "WARNING: System is mounting /opt/local from the wrong filer"

Regards,
         /\/elson
