actually I was fullish and miss the part in the main confog file that is cleraly saying LAN=eth1 etc in the XML file, just as usual…. so now im looking on how to read XML w/ bash script... aperantly i have no idea how to do that...

sullrich · Nov 7, 2006, 2:11 AM

Erm, I dont think there is a EASY way to do this. Good luck!

alexus · Nov 7, 2006, 2:13 AM

Good, so at the end you wont tell me that my script is too easy :-P

sullrich · Nov 7, 2006, 2:15 AM

Technically you could call php from your bash script and echo out the values after parsing but this is going to be SLLLOOOW.

alexus · Nov 7, 2006, 2:20 AM

well besides slow it will eat extra ~15% of CPU, for wrap that is not an option. And in combination to the fact that the script does HTTP request to the external server I definettly dont want to call PHP XML parser… in my case I will have to call it min 2 times and the 3rd will be external HTTP request.

Well lets see what i end up with. Im sure linux/bsd shuld have ability to read xml files.

lets take a look at it from a difrent side and use the pfsense rules file and get there the lan and wan from


 #!/bin/sh
lan=`awk '/lan = "\{ /{ print $0 }' /tmp/rules.debug | sed -e 's/lan = "{ //' | sed -e 's/ }"//'`
wan=`awk '/wan = "\{ /{ print $0 }' /tmp/rules.debug | sed -e 's/wan = "{ //' | sed -e 's/ }"//'`
echo "lan interface=" $lan
echo "wan interface=" $wan

nice that screept does work.. i was doing almost the same w/ xml just now… but as I see in that example it uses temp dir? is that dor will be included in future releases? is that dir exist in mono, and finally what rules does it refering to? firewall rules? what if NAT is disabled?
Tnx

jeroen234 · Nov 7, 2006, 11:32 PM

i have made that script on a running pfsense embedded 1.01 soekris
/tmp/rules.debug is the running firewall config of pfsense
mono will have it to i think
nat on or off will not chance the lan of wan interface on the firewall

alexus · Nov 7, 2006, 11:51 PM

ok if that folder is permament and present on both mono and pfSense I will use it …
Less hedeach reading XML file for me..

Tnx

Ok, good part of Webinterface is done now.
One problem, I was trying to use fetch instead of wget (as sudgested earlier) but a) I cant make it to work b) it doesnt work as spider

So, is it posible to install WGET to the system and include it in the distribution?

sullrich · Nov 9, 2006, 2:27 AM

What doesn't work with fetch?

alexus · Nov 9, 2006, 2:30 AM

everithing, I tryed all posible syntax and never got it to work …

Can you give me a sample code on using fatch to open lets say http://example.com and do not download any info?

sullrich · Nov 9, 2006, 2:31 AM

What do you mean "do not download any info?"

Do you mean quiet?

alexus · Nov 9, 2006, 2:32 AM

Spider mode = no downloads
quite mode = no output

Technicaly i need them both

sullrich · Nov 9, 2006, 2:33 AM

Quiet and no downloads? Sorry but I dont follow you. The point of fetch and wget is to download/fetch a page.
