How can I adapt this script to work with my antivirus update script? It
pumps out some crap while it works and I 'd like to eliminate that as
well.
Here is my update script.
#!/bin/sh
mailto= "thom@(protected) "
tstamp=`date`
hostname=`hostname`
### Create a temporary dir in /tmp
pushd /tmp
mkdir sigupdate
pushd sigupdate
### Get signature update file via ftp
ftp ftp.nai.com
### Unpack signature file
export filename=`ls dat-*.tar`
tar -xf $filename
### Move signature files to virus-scan directory
mv *.dat /usr/local/uvscan
### Clean up temp directory and leave
rm $filename
rm *
popd
rmdir sigupdate
popd
### Send an e-mail to the administrator about update
export output=`/usr/local/uvscan/uvscan --version`
mail -s "VIRUS SIGNATURE FILES UPDATED " $mailto < <eoi
Date: $tstamp
The virus signature files on $hostname
have been updated.
$output
eoi
exit 0
I made this script from the mcafee administrator manual. But everytime
it runs, I get an email to root from cron with some info in it that is
meaningless. As you can see from the script, I get an email upon
completion with the version of the new dats.
Thanks.
