I have a problem with bash script. I am backing up the devices. I wrote simple bash script, which will download files. Indeed, wildcard is not working so I am doing that manual way. When I variable device, it is not included in filelog, filebackup or fileexport variable. Can you help me please? I am including code.



 #!/bin/bash
user="admin"
address="IP"
#command will get devcie hostname in complex form 
ssh $user@$address '/system identity print interval=' > devices

#will get device hostname
tmpDevices=$(cat devices)
device=$(echo $tmpDevices | awk ' print $2 ')
echo "Device hostname is $device"

#custom months names
day=$(date +%d)
mon=$(date +%m)
if [ $mon == 12 ]
then
 mon="dec"
elif [ $mon == 1 ]
then
 mon="jan"
elif [ $mon == 2 ]

When I run the script, it will shows me devices as Mikrotik, but is not included in variable. The output is _dec06log.txt etc.



Thank you.

  • When you run the script, the string Mikrotik shows up to your screen, but does not end up in the device variable & filename?

    There is no variable devices. There is a file devices and a variable device. If the file devices contains only MikroTik, what do you expect awk ' print $2 ' to produce?

  • @AdrianBardossy, awk 'print $2' does not reduce two lines of text to one. Please edit your question to include the full content of the file devices. If the second line contains the hostname (and nothing else), you can use tail -1 to output only the last line.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
