I previously posted about someone using the exit status of onstat to determine the state of the online system: > ========================= CUT HERE ======================== > $ cat /usr/local/bin/engine > : > onstat - 1>/dev/null 2>&1 > stat=$? > if test $stat -eq 1> then > echo "Quiescent" > exit 1 > fi > > if test $stat -eq 5 > then > echo "Online" > exit 5 > fi > > if test $stat -eq 255 > then > echo "Offline" > exit 255 > fi > ========================= CUT HERE ======================== IMO, the above does not qualify as "well enough" for me to leave it alone. I have come up with what I believe *is* well enough and does not depend on a quirk. $ onstat -d | head -2|tail -1|awk '{print $5}' This grabs the second line of onstat output (the first is a blank line) and pulls the 5th string in the heading line. This is not without assumptions but it these are less likely to change and easier to roll with: 1. The state of the system - "On-Line", "Off-Line", "Quiescent", etc. will always be in position 5 of the heading line. 2. The heading line containing the state of the system will always be the second line. I still invite comments from C.D.I. regarding the exit codes from onstat; it has piqued my curiosity. I simply would not depend on this quirk to determine the state of the system.
