get config thru tftp

[337tek]

Hello all,
I'd like to write a script doing this
1- Using "DOS" ping command and ping a list of hosts on the same subnet.
2- Create a directory for each host in this ipaddress format 127_0_0_1.
3- Using "tftp get ip_host" to get configuration file.

Any ideas how to do this

If you are pinging IP addresses instead of fully-qualified domain names, then you could place them one per line in a text file (say ips.txt for example purposes), then use the following code to read through the list:

proc main

string sLine
string sCmdLine
integer iTask

if fopen 0 "ips.txt" READ TEXT
while not feof 0
fgets 0 sLine
strfmt sCmdLine "ping %s >> ping.txt" sLine
run sCmdLine iTask
while taskexists iTask
yield
endwhile
endwhile
endif
endproc

To create a directory with the necessary format, you would use the strreplace command to replace all periods in the IP address with an underscore character, then use mkdir to create the directory.

I don't have TFTP on this system, but if it's a DOS app that does not require any user input, you can use code similar to the script above to create a command line using the strfmt command and then run the command.

Knob,
Thank you very much.

I tried it with some additions but it's not running.
Any hints!!!

-----------------------------------

proc main

string sLine
string sCmdLine
string TextStr
integer iTask

if fopen 0 "ips.txt" READ TEXT
while not feof 0
fgets 0 sLine
strfmt sCmdLine "ping %s >> ping.txt" sLine ; ping list of hosts. If reply, save results as ping.txt.
strreplace TextStr "." "_" ; replace "." with "_" for each entry in ping.txt.
mkdir "127_0_0_1" ; make a directory from each entry
chdir "127_0_0_1" ; then go to this directory and
strfmt sCmdLine "tftp -i get config.st" sLine ; run "tftp -i (ip: each ip_add entry from ping.txt) get config.file"
run sCmdLine iTask
while taskexists iTask
yield
endwhile
endwhile
endif
endproc

In the strfmt command to create the tftp command line, I don't see a %s format variable corresponding to the sLine variable. This means you are probably not running a valid command line.
