nagios screen saver? :-)

[Dan Stromberg]

I really liked this idea, so I put something together to do it:

#!/bin/bash
wget \
        --http-user='username' \
        --http-passwd='password' \
        -O $HOME/nagios-dump \    
'http://nsc-3.nacs.uci.edu/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=strombrg%2Dmachines&style=overview' 2> /dev/null
links -dump-width 120 -dump $HOME/nagios-dump | \
        egrep 'UP|DOWN|OK|WARNING|CRITICAL' | \
        sed \
                -e 's/\[[0-9]\]/   /g' \
                -e 's/\[[0-9][0-9]\]/    /g' \
                -e 's/\[[0-9][0-9][0-9]\]/     /g' \
                -e 's/\[[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\]/      /g' \
                -e 's/|/ /g' \
                -e 's/View.*$//' | \
        awk ' { if (NF == 4) { printf("%-40s %-5s %-5s
%s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4)}; if (NF == 2) { printf("%46s %-5s %s\n"," ",$1,$2)}
}'

I'm calling it from:

            starwars -root -program             \
              $HOME/bin/nagios-fortune -delay 0        \n\

...in $HOME/.xscreensaver.

Now if I could just find a way to highlight the Criticals with a
different color or something...

BTW, some of those sed patterns are unnecessary, but they shouldn't hurt
things.  I kind of changed approaches midstream, and then didn't clean
up afterward.
