Thanks for the explanation Michael - this should be very helpful.
I'm curious though, what are the guidelines around writing a C++
program to be executed as an external script? I've written a simple
program for checking if the driver name supplied as an arg is loaded
in the system, but I'm not using any of the above "glue" to do so, I
just make the checks and printf the output and return the result code.
Is this sufficient? Here's the code;
#include <stdafx.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <psapi.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define ARRAY_SIZE 1024
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
LPVOID drivers[ARRAY_SIZE];
DWORD cbNeeded;
int cDrivers, i;
if(EnumDeviceDrivers(drivers, sizeof(drivers), &cbNeeded) && cbNeeded
< sizeof(drivers))
{
TCHAR szDriver[ARRAY_SIZE];
cDrivers = cbNeeded / sizeof(drivers[0]);;
for (i=0; i < cDrivers; i++ )
{
if(GetDeviceDriverBaseName(drivers[i], szDriver,
sizeof(szDriver) /
sizeof(szDriver[0])))
{
if(argv[1] != NULL && _tcscmp ( szDriver,
_T(argv[1])) == 0)
{
printf("Driver is loaded");
return 0; // OK
}
}
}
printf("Driver is not loaded!");
return 2; // CRITICAL
}
else
{
printf("EnumDeviceDrivers failed; array size needed is %d\n",
cbNeeded / sizeof(LPVOID));
return 3; // UNKNOWN
}
}
It's based off the code here;
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682619(VS.85).aspx
I just drop the compiled program into "ExternalScripts" and add this to nsc.ini;
[External Scripts]
check_driver = ExternalScripts\Check_Driver.exe <driver-name-here>
Is this an appropriate way to carry-out this check? It works perfectly
fine so far, but I'm just curious to see if this is a proper way of
doing things?
Cheers,
Chris
