Disable of http Test

Hello All,

 
We do a lot of application deploys here which brings

down the http server. Of course users don't call-in

to disable the hobbit server.

 
I was wondering is there a way to disable a test via

the command line from another server, so that I can

add the hobbit disable of http test during a deploy

of applications.

 
I then want to script re-enabling it at the end of the

deploy script. 

 
Thanks..James

Good question...

 
I've just tried this on the hobbit server

 
Disabling:

 
bin/bbcmd bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "disable foo.conn 60"

 
Enabling:

bin/bbcmd bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "enable foo.conn"

 
and it works

Just to clarify this, is this command

/home/shire/server/bin/bbcmd bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "disable foo.conn 60" then?

Is the 60 in seconds or minutes?

According to the bb man page, that's minutes.

Minutes.

To run that command from a remote server and not on the hobbit server, you would need to use $BBDISP instead of 127.0.0.1.

What about disable until O.K.?

I looked at the manpage and didn't see it.

I think you use a value of   -1  to do "until OK".

Hey,

I'm having problems scripting the disable.

I'm using ksh. Here's what I'm doing:

$HOBBIT_HOME/bin/bb 198.168.0.222 "\"disable $machine.http -1 Running
Deployment of from $FROM_STREAM to $TO_STREAM\""

Here's the debug output:
+ machine=server1
+ HOBBIT_HOME=/home/hobbit/client
+ FROM_STREAM=TEST1
+ TO_STREAM=TEST2
+ /home/hobbit/client/bin/bb 198.168.0.222 "disable tiers_trnprd6.http -1
Running Deployment from TEST1 to TEST2"

It doesn't work. Now if I grab the bottom line using cut and paste, and
execute it on the line manually, it works just fine.

I know it's the way you have to put the disable in double quotes, but I
can't seem to get it to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks..James

Also be aware that I believe Hobbit by default will not accept commands from remote hosts, only status updates.  To enable a remote host to send commands, see the --admin-senders option of hobbitlaunch.cfg. Don't forget to restart hobbit to enable the change.

I'm with Galen on this one.

Almost every time I encounter or see a situation where you can copy/paste a
command into the shell but it doesn't work in a script using the same shell
it tends to be some sort of formatting issue (in this case, quotes).

Hi Galen,

I tried that but it didn't work. I finally got it to work.
I looked at some of the other scripts and did the same thing
they were doing:

STATUS="disable $machine.http -1 Running Deployment of from $FROM_STREAM to
$TO_STREAM"

$HOBBIT_HOME/bin/bb 198.168.0.222 "$STATUS"

This worked fine.

MSG="disable $MACHINE.http -1 Running Deployment from $FROM_STREAM to $TO_STREAM"
$BB $BBDISP "$MSG"

BB, BBDISP, and MACHINE are already set for you by Hobbit (to test use the "bbcmd" shell).  I used MSG because STATUS seemed a bit confusing as there is a "status" message type.
