Re: Running afacli in a cron?

Hello,
	This is my first time responding to this list, but since I've had 
some issues along the same lines, I thought I would throw my 2 cents in.  
My problem wasn't with a PowerEdge 1650 also.  The script would run if run 
as a user, but not through Cron.  The problem ended up being that the 
afacli script needs the TERM environment variable to be set (or at least 
that fixed it for me.  See my scripts below:

#----Perl script for executing an afacli session to find battery state.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$LOG = "/tmp/cfg.log";
$AFACLI = "/usr/sbin/afacli";
$AFACFG = "/etc/afaapps/contrDetails.afa0";

`$AFACLI < $AFACFG 2> /dev/null`;

$_ = `grep "Battery State" $LOG`;
chomp;
@data = split (/:/);
$data[1] =~ s/^\s*//;
$_ = lc($data[1]);

if ( ! /ok/ )
{
    print "Battery State: $_\n";
}

`rm -f $LOG`; 
exit 0;

#----Shell script called by Cron which in turn calls the above perl 
#----script.

#!/bin/sh

HOME=/root
TERM=vt100 
export TERM HOME

/etc/afaapps/batteryTest.pl

#----/etc/afaapps/contrDetails.afa0 file

 logfile start "/tmp/cfg.log"
 open /readonly=TRUE afa0
 controller details
 logfile end
 exit
