The actual wget call is: wget --post-file=SentinelCompReport.xml --header="Content-Type: text/xml" --header="SOAPAction: \"http://tlo.com/ComprehensivePersonSearch\"" -O - http://<some vip>/BobService.asmx
On the previous email, I put 'xxx.com' instead of tlo.com in the wget call because I didn't want to broadcast my domain name to the world
Sorry, I didn't mean to "out" you. ;-)
but I don't mind anymore -- so every wget call with have " http://tlo.com/ComprehensivePersonSearch" but on the last http url call it should have the vip of where I'm sending this xml to; for example "http://vip from bb-host file/BobServices.asmx"
Ah, I see.
From your script, it said "wget ... --header="SOAPAction: \"http://$1/ComprehensivePersonSearch\" -O - http://$2/BobService.asmx" But I'm guessing since we don't need to change the url for "http://tlo.com/ComprehensivePersonSearch\" we don't need the $1, correct?
Correct.
Also, your script indicated "$BBHOME/bin/bbhostgrep foo | while read IP HOSTNAME OTHER; do"
The labels "IP", "HOSTNAME" and "OTHER" are labels used by the "read" command. What "read" will do is to read one line from stdin and split it on whitespace into 3 variables. (The output from the bbhostgrep command is piped as stdin to the while loop to appear, one line at a time, as input to "read".) The 3 variables are dynamically created as per the names (ie $IP, $HOSTNAME and $OTHER). We use OTHER to catch the rest of each line.
To understand a bit better, try this:
echo "a b c d e" | while read X Y Z; do echo "[$X][$Y][$Z]"; done
Then this:
cat /etc/hosts | while read X Y Z; do echo "[$X][$Y][$Z]"; done
but HOSTNAME is not what I have defined in bb-hosts, I'm using aliases; for example, 10.218.160.150 is mapped to alias called server1 so I can't use the alias for HOSTNAME because this command won't work "$BB $BBDISP "status $HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME $COL
date$MSG", am I correct to assume this?
The value of $HOSTNAME will get the second word in the bb-hosts file. I could have used X, Y, Z instead of IP, HOSTNAME, OTHER, but the code wouldn't have been as readable.
So, if my assumptions are correct, how should I correct this script you wrote to reflect my environment.
I think you would just change the $1 to the domain in your URL. Something like
wget --post-file=SentinelCompReport.xml --header="Content-Type:text/xml" --header="SOAPAction: \"http://tlo.com/ComprehensivePersonSearch\"" -O - http://$2/BobService.asmx
