Monitoring Windows Network Share

[Crotty, Edward]

That does help in getting a quick and dirty script, so thanks!

What I am also interested in however is the rpc information that is
associated with the windows share...

In other words, what would a proper check using check_rpc be to see the rpc
status of a windows share...

IE, for a un*x box, I could -

check_rpc -H 127.0.0.1 -C nfs

Is there an equivalent in the windows world?

If I'm off / this doesnt make sense, feel free to shoot me a message off the
list.

Thanks,
-ed

Edward,

Here is a script (check_share) that I wrote that uses smbclient to check 
shares on Windows hosts:


#!/bin/bash

IPADDRESS=$1
SHARE=$2

smbclient //$IPADDRESS/$SHARE <password> -U <username> -W <workgroup> -c 
"exit" &> /dev/null

if [ $? = "0" ]; then
    EXIT="0" && STDIO="At IP $IPADDRESS, share: \"$SHARE\" present."
else
    EXIT="2" && STDIO="Could not list share: \"$SHARE\" on $IPADDRESS"
fi

echo $STDIO
exit $EXIT


HTH,
Greg
