I'm struggling with some programing issues and hope someone have done this already.

I wrote some scripts and get: cat: write error: Broken pipe and need som suggestion to solve it.

I'm reading from /tmp / vpnclient-1.log. When I resstart router "with / bin / cat vpnclient-1.log
https://pastebin.com/eXVxdJ4T

Is any other way to read from / tmp or other solution to solve this?

Thanks

Does the following extract the "CN=value" ?
Code:
awk '{FS="="} /VERIFY OK: depth=0/ {print $(NF);exit}' /tmp/vpnclient-1.log

EDIT: Updated to 'only match the first occurrence of the string'

Yes it does but multiple times. I need "grep -E -m 1" to.
Code:
octopus@RT-AC68U:/tmp/home/root# awk '{FS="="} /VERIFY OK: depth=0/ {print $(NF)}' /tmp/vpnclient-1.log
vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com
vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com
vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com
vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com
vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com
vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com
 
Try this instead:

Code:
CN3="$(grep -E -m 1 "VERIFY OK: depth=0" /tmp/vpnclient-1.log | cut -d ',' -f2 | cut -d "=" -f2)"; echo $CN3
 
Try this instead:

Code:
CN3="$(grep -E -m 1 "VERIFY OK: depth=0" /tmp/vpnclient-1.log | cut -d ',' -f2 | cut -d "=" -f2)"; echo $CN3
That working just fine.
Code:
octopus@RT-AC68U:/tmp/home/root# CN3="$(grep -E -m 1 "VERIFY OK: depth=0" /tmp/vpnclient-1.log | cut -d ',' -f2 | cut -d "=" -f2)"; echo $CN3
vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com

Thanks
I testing if it working with my other codes. :)

Sorry :oops: … missed off the 'Only match first line'...see the updated code

When I put this together i dont resolv ip-number.
Code:
CN="$(grep -E -m 1 "VERIFY OK: depth=0" /tmp/vpnclient-1.log | cut -d ',' -f2 | cut -d "=" -f2)"
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup "$CN" | grep -woE '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' | awk 'NR>2');echo "$GROUP_IP"
:eek:

You're missing a closing double quote:
Code:
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup "$CN" | grep -woE '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' | awk 'NR>2')";echo "$GROUP_IP"

Hm I'm blind ...... too many characters and numbers. :rolleyes:
Thanks
 
It might be better not to rely on the IPv4 format for nslookup output (for example 'nslookup google.com ::' or 'nslookup microsoft.com ns1.msft.net'), likewise there might only be an IPv6 address listed.
Code:
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup "$CN" | awk 'NR>2&&$1=="Address:"{print $2;exit}')";echo "$GROUP_IP"
If you only want the IPv4 address that'd be better done on the nslookup side
Code:
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup -type=A "$CN" | awk 'NR>2&&$1=="Address:"{print $2;exit}')";echo "$GROUP_IP"

Thanks but that not working:
Code:
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup -type=A "vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com" | awk 'NR>2&&$1=="Address:"{print $2;exit}')";echo "$GROUP_IP"
Code:
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup "vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com" | awk 'NR>2&&$1=="Address:"{print $2;exit}')";echo "$GROUP_IP"
 
Ah sorry, I didn't realise I was using entwares nslookup. Ignore the -type=A option.
Doesn't work
Code:
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup "vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com" | awk 'NR>2&&$1=="Address:"{print $2;exit}')";echo "$GROUP_IP"
 
Busybox's nslookup returns the info in a different format so you'd need something like:
Code:
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup "vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com" | awk 'NR>2&&$1=="Address"{print $3;exit}')";echo "$GROUP_IP"
 
Mmm, the format is completely different :confused:
This should work with either the builtin nslookup or the entware version.
Code:
GROUP_IP="$(nslookup "vpn61.prd.kista.ovpn.com" | awk 'NR>2&&/^Address/{if(NF==2){print $2}else{print $3};exit}')";echo "$GROUP_IP"

EDIT: Awk script could be written a little more concisely as
Code:
'NR>2&&/^Address/{print $(NF==2?2:3);exit}'

Seems both working now. Thanks.
