Hello everyone. I'm trying to write what I would think is a simple
applescript (and I bet it is!) but I'm having trouble getting my head around
some of the subtleties of Applescript.
I would like to create a script that will execute a unix command on a group
of computers via ARD. The command determines the netboot server that booted
the machine. I would like the script to place the computers in groups that
have the same name as the output of the command (the netboot server
hostname).
Here is what I have so far:
tell application "Remote Desktop"
set myNetBootList to computer list "test"
set aNewTask to make new send unix command task with properties
{name:"Which Netboot Server", user:"adminx", showing output:true,
script:"netstat -W | grep 2049 | awk {'print $5'} | sed
's/\\(.*\\)\\(\\.2049\\)/\\1/'"}
set myCommandResults to execute aNewTask on myNetBootList
set stati to |computerStatuses| of myCommandResults
repeat with aResult in stati
set thisServer to results of aResult
set thisId to |id| of aResult
set thisComputer to computer id thisId
if thisServer is in {"Offline", "Not supported", "No console user"}
then
set thisServer to "Unknown NetBoot Server"
end if
add thisComputer to computer list thisServer
end repeat
end tell
My problem is that the variable thisServer contains "servername" with the
quotes. I need to have it without the quotes.
Is there an easy way to remove the quotes? Am I doing this totally
backwards?
Thanks in advance!
