Im no expert at scripting but I have writen several little scripts that check our web site, a key computer that logs keycard access and another that are security cameras. They all have html's that are accessable from inhouse. I run all these as cron jobs on a linux computer.
my script looks like this ... basically wget --tries=5 --dont-remove-listing 10.1.0.36 if ! [ -e /root/index.html -o -e /root/bin/index.html ]; then ..... [run some commands and email me that the computer is not found] This is fine and has worked great for some time. However now we have some new equipment and they dont seem to work. with this simple routine. When I enter into the equipment via windows browswer it appears to be html://10.1.0.36/main.cgi I asume that wget does not support cgi. I have typed into the windows browswer html://10.1.0.36/index.html and that seems to work in windows but then when I use wget .... /etc/crontab #wget --tries=5 --force-html http://10.1.0.26/index.html --15:53:31-- http://10.1.0.26/index.html => `index.html' Connecting to 10.1.0.26:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized Authorization failed. /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/crontab # Im not sure what this is telling me accept perhaps ?? Im not authorized, (linux does tend to tell you the real reason, albiet not always straighforward.) Any thoughts on resolving this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
