Topic: New linux updatePublisher script testing?
David Pyke (Jul 23 2020 at 15:16):
I've added all the script updating and other updates to the _updatePublisher.sh script. Anyone want to help test?
David Pyke (Jul 23 2020 at 15:16):
Linux and Mac testers wanted!
David Pyke (Jul 23 2020 at 16:23):
Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?
David Pyke (Jul 23 2020 at 17:34):
@Rob Hausam @Eric Haas ?
Rob Hausam (Jul 23 2020 at 19:01):
I'm interested in trying it out on the Mac (and I could on Linux, too).
David Pyke (Jul 23 2020 at 19:20):
Great! Thank you! I'll send it to your email
Rob Hausam (Jul 23 2020 at 22:35):
@David Pyke I just tried it on the Mac and this is what I'm getting:
RHausamMacbookPro:fhir-order-catalog rhausam$ sh _updatePublisher.sh
Checking internet connection
ping: invalid option -- 4
usage: ping [-AaDdfnoQqRrv] [-c count] [-G sweepmaxsize]
[-g sweepminsize] [-h sweepincrsize] [-i wait]
[-l preload] [-M mask | time] [-m ttl] [-p pattern]
[-S src_addr] [-s packetsize] [-t timeout][-W waittime]
[-z tos] host
ping [-AaDdfLnoQqRrv] [-c count] [-I iface] [-i wait]
[-l preload] [-M mask | time] [-m ttl] [-p pattern] [-S src_addr]
[-s packetsize] [-T ttl] [-t timeout] [-W waittime]
[-z tos] mcast-group
Apple specific options (to be specified before mcast-group or host like all options)
-b boundif # bind the socket to the interface
-k traffic_class # set traffic class socket option
-K net_service_type # set traffic class socket options
-apple-connect # call connect(2) in the socket
-apple-time # display current time
Offline (or the terminology server is down), unable to update. Exiting

I guess the mac version of ping doesn't support forcing things to IPv4. I'll delete that parameter, it's not really needed, anyway.
David Pyke (Jul 23 2020 at 22:54):
If you want, just delete that parameter and try again or I'll send you a revised one.
Rob Hausam (Jul 23 2020 at 23:10):
Looks like the Mac ping also doesn't support '-w'. After deleting both of those parameters it worked fine for updating the publisher and the scripts.
David Pyke (Jul 23 2020 at 23:16):
Great! Thank you! Mac uses -W. I wonder if I can find an easy way to determine if it's on a mac from within a script.
Rob Hausam (Jul 23 2020 at 23:18):
-W and -w aren't exactly the same, but maybe it won't matter with a single ping, anyway.
Rob Hausam (Jul 23 2020 at 23:20):
Not sure about detecting the Mac. Probably there is a way? But I haven't ever looked at that.
David Pyke (Jul 23 2020 at 23:31):
I think I'm just going to have it a basic ping -c1 and leave it at that. We don't need fancy stuff for an on-line test
Vassil Peytchev (Jul 23 2020 at 23:54):
Are you checking the exit code to determine success? If not, ping on IPv6, produces different output from IPv4, and the test will incorrectly fail.
David Pyke (Jul 24 2020 at 14:11):
Yes, we are.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jul 24 2020 at 14:25):
The Windows script (still) uses ping because curl is not available out of the box. But on *nix machines perhaps you can use curl instead of ping to see if online
David Pyke (Jul 24 2020 at 14:28):
Ping works fine on linux/mac. If the exit code is other than 0, that means there's a problem and I exit the script.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jul 24 2020 at 14:29):
Ok
Carl Anderson (Jul 24 2020 at 18:06):
Sorry I'm late to the party, but I'm on OSX and would be happy to help test this.
