So you need to write a telnet script. Should be fairly simple using many programs. I do not know the telnet commands off hand but I am sure there is a reference somewhere.

The model I am looking is one where the check id is already defined on each server - they just "toggle" it. -Tom -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[email protected] (mailto:[email protected])] On Behalf Of Ferrell, Jim Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 3:16 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] Re-introduction We are doing what you describe with SAWeb.

Here's the problem I want to solve: A tech works on server A. They need to put server A checks in Maintenance mode within SA to prevent false alarms during their work. They forget to do so, or SA is inconvenient for them to get to. Since we typically have a lead "PING" check for each server, with all other checks dependant on that successful PING, I would like to have a tool that I could put on each server as a desktop icon. Clicking on the icon would allow me to set/clear the maintenance flag of just one specific check. Obviously I would have to configure the name of the SA server and the specific check ID as I install on each server. May also require SA telnet information and password - hopefully stored encrypted on each server. In an IDEAL world, the Remote Maint tool would be able to also have the tech set a "maintenance window (minutes)" that would be passed to SA. SA would then automatically remove the MAINT hold after that many minutes - since that is also a frequently missed step in the process. But that would require a change within SA. Unless you had a server component to the Remote Maint tool that ran on the SA box...... -Tom -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[email protected] (mailto:[email protected])] On Behalf Of Mark Bradshaw Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 10:56 AM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] Re-introduction Thanks Irene, and Michael. Love the thumbs up. I think I’d have enough on my plate with SAWeb, and a possible rebuild of SARemote if time allows. For those that may not remember SARemote, it was a little tray app that sat down by the time and silently watch your SA installation to make sure it was up and all checks were good. On failure it would flash at you and let you know something was up. I built it when I worked at a company in the shadow of an airport, and pagers were very spotty. No promises yet on either (assuming they are still warranted). I’m just kicking it around. I would be interested to know, though, what general items (add-ons) people thought would be useful. I used to ask this question every few months to gauge the need of the group. The normal caveat was that it shouldn’t create any pain for Dirk, and would hopefully be a fun, small project that wouldn’t take long to crank out. Any suggestions?
