AIX check_services or check_subsystem

[BanditBBS]

In AIX services are referred to as subsystem and you can check them with the 'lssrc -s whatever' command. That will let you know if they are in active state or any other state. Anyone have a check that is written to check services/subsystems on AIX?

I've been googling all morning, but my google skills have been failing me recently.

Thanks!

I'll help do some poking around as well but I was not able to turn anything up yet and don't know of any subsys / service plugins for AIX, just process checks.

Ok, it's ugly, but attached is my hack of an already existing script to make it work with AIX.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

PROGNAME=`basename $0`

print_usage() {
        echo "Usage: $PROGNAME"
}

print_help() {
        echo ""
        print_usage
        echo ""
        echo "This plugin checks the status of subsystems services on AIX."
        echo ""
        support
        exit 0
}


case "$1" in
        --help)
                print_help
                exit 0
                ;;
        -h)
                print_help
                exit 0
                ;;
        *)
                if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
                        lssrc -a |grep $1|grep active
                        ret=$?
                        case "$ret" in
                             0)
                                exit 0
                                ;;
                             1)
                                lssrc -a |grep $1|grep inoperative
                                ret2=$?
                                case "$ret2" in
                                  0)
                                        exit 2
                                        ;;
                                  *)
                                        echo "ERROR: No service found with that name!!"
                                        exit 1
                                        ;;
                                esac
                        esac
                else
                        echo "ERROR: Some unknown error occured!!!"
                        exit 2
                fi
                ;;
esac

As programmed, it will return OK if active, Critical if Inoperative, warning if some other status or no service found and critical if some error happens with the script.
