A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

on a nightly basis we have to copy logs to corresponding months folder with date and tar and gzip

if the directory does not exist for the month we have to create it when copy and tar the files,

ex : /a/b/c/archieve/`date +`'%Y-%m'`/`

we should be maintaining the archived files for the last 3 days and hould be removed older than 3 days

Hello,

What is the best way to get computer's domain into a variable?
So for example, all our computers are joined to the target. So I want to query that value and record domain FQDN and Domain NB into variables. Similar to what I found to do for username. However, I need to get the domain from computer and not user. Unfortunately, there is no such a variable for a computer only for the user. Please advise.

$domainDNS = $env:USERDNSDOMAIN (similar to this)
$domainNB = $env:USERDOMAIN
[string] $SQLName=$env:computername
[string] $SQLFQDN = $SQLName + "." + $domainDNS

I need a powershell script that will do the following.

2. I need each of the subkeys into a variable, how do I do that in Powershell?

3. After I have that answer, I would like to run the command for each subkey variable, inst.exe /u /service dmol /p "Variable=mailprofile"

I really appreciate the feedback!

Drive mapping based on subnet

I have a multi site AD domain
Because of the type of data we work with, most of our file servers are replicated from corp site to local site
I have GPP doing drive maps applied to each site OU and currently works great so long as the user only logs on at his site. So user at site 1 gets 3 drive mapping to the servers at his local site and the rest point back to servers at corp site. We now are implementing a VDI solution that will reside on servers at corp site and users from all sites will log into. The issue I am having is when a user from any site other than corp logs onto the vdi machine they are getting their drive mappings based on the OU their user account is in which in turn as by design maps their drives to the servers at the site their account resides in. Can any point me in a direction I can consolidate ALL my drive mappings into 1 script that will map the drives based on subnet?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

I am working through the process of automating my backups in AWS. I have a process to take VSS snapshots of my volumes, and I also have a separate script in AWS Lambda which can automatically take an AMI. What i'm now looking to do is combine these in to one single function. The lambda script does take a snapshot, however I'm not certain that it's a VSS2 snapshot. I've googled the issue but all the articles I've come across seem to describe the two processes as separate entities.

This is the Python script I'm using in Lambda to take an AMI:

# Automated AMI Backups
#
# @author Robert Kozora <bobby@kozora.me>
#
# This script will search for all instances having a tag with "Backup" or "backup"
# on it. As soon as we have the instances list, we loop through each instance
# and create an AMI of it. Also, it will look for a "Retention" tag key which
# will be used as a retention policy number in days. If there is no tag with
# that name, it will use a 7 days default value for each AMI.
#
# After creating the AMI it creates a "DeleteOn" tag on the AMI indicating when
# it will be deleted using the Retention value and another Lambda function

import boto3
import collections
import datetime
import sys
import pprint

ec = boto3.client('ec2')
#image = ec.Image('id')

def lambda_handler(event, context):

reservations = ec.describe_instances(
Filters=[
{'Name': 'tag-key', 'Values': ['backup', 'Backup']},

what commands in vbs will move files out from one folder to another?

I am trying to display a custom message when a user closes or about to close a browser tab. In the earlier versions of the browsers I could do this using onunload or onbeforeunload events and display a pop-up message but the newer versions do not allow me to customize the message. Is there anyway I can display a customized message when the user closes the browser tab or when clicks on the close button of the browser tab? A tool-tip could also work when the user is hovering on the close button or clicks on the close button of the browser. Thank you for any help.

Rounding in Python

Greetings Everyone
I am very new and green at python scripting and need some guidance.
I have a script that reads temperature data from 3 different sensors.
It is set to currently print that data to the terminal screen.
The script works OK, but the issue I have is the data gets printed to the screen with an overabundance of decimal places. I have come across a function to round that data to 1 or 2 decimal places, which is what I want.
Unfortunately I can't seem to get the syntax correct and the function fails to work as I need.

Here are the print commands currently:

# Get Temperature and print to screen
while True:
    print ("Pool Temp = ", read_temp(temp_sensor_1))
    print("Air Temp = ", read_temp(temp_sensor_2))
    print("Box Temp = ", read_temp(temp_sensor_3))
    time.sleep(2)   # Read every 2 seconds

Open in new window

That returns the following output:

Pool Temp = 51.0166
Air Temp = 51.355
Box Temp = 64.557

Open in new window

Waits 2 seconds and repeats until I kill the script.

What I am looking for is something like this:

Pool Temp = 51.1°F
Air Temp = 51.2°F
Box Temp = 64..6°F

Open in new window

I found a reference to using the str.format() syntax but have not been able to make it work correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:)

What are the strings of commands in CUTEFTP to download all files found in a specific remote folder?
Either it can override all local files, or it should only download the latest files it finds which are not on the local folder.

Modify FTP script

I would like to modify this FTP script below so that it does the following

1. Download any new files to the local directory. (So the script needs to determine what it downloaded last time, so that it doesn't download it again, unless it it's easier to write the script so as to download everything it sees in the remote directory to the local directory and just overwrite any files which it sees, which is ok as well, in this scenario).

2. Does not delete the previous files from the remote directory.

@echo off
setlocal 

set password=xxxxxxxxxx
set /p password=<%~nx0:password
if not "%password%"=="" goto OK
set /p password=Enter password: 
echo %password%>%~nx0:password
:OK

set localdir=\\server1\main\
set remotedir=/out
set ftpserver=xxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.com
set username=xxxxxxxx

::del "%localdir%\*.*" /q

call :GetFtpFiles
call :ClearFTPFiles

exit /b

:GetFTPFiles
    (echo open %ftpserver%
    echo user %username% %password%
    echo bin
    echo cd %remotedir%
    echo lcd "%localdir%"
    echo mget *.*
    echo quit
    ) | ftp -n -i
    exit /b

:ClearfTPFiles
    (echo open %ftpserver%
    echo user %username% %password%
    echo cd %remotedir%
    (for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d "%localdir%\*.*"') do @echo dele "%%~a")

How to combine 2 .csv files using script

When it sees 01-ABCDA, or 01ABCDB - in position 4 'and' if it sees either 01230c, or 01232 in position 100,
then it will change the last character from whatever 3 digits it sees at the end of those lines, to a ,008.
