WinPopUps Continued

I knew there was a way to do it.
I just updated my WinPopUp script to the following, following the recipe here

#!/bin/bash
#winpopup.sh
# Send a zabbix message via winpopup to a given host
# Use as an alertscript within zabbix
# Syntax: winpopup $receiptant $subject $message
# Note: zabbix passes $1=receiptiant, $2=subject, $3=message to any script
echo -e "Subject:$2\\n$3" | smbclient -M $1

Excellent. Now I don’t need a script for each PC that I want to message. I can just pass the argument from the Media link of each user.

Strange thing is that I had tried to put $1 on my old script’s destination but it didn’t work for some reason.

Where’s my SMS I hear you shout?

  • 13.10 Quote of the Day: Capitalism

    Quoth the Barefoot Bum

    The problem our capitalist economy faces is not how to feed everyone, but how to make a profit feeding everyone.

    Aptly said and so true. We would have no problem feeding everyone on the planet but the capitalists can’t make a profit that way and this goes for most goods.

    Just look at the situation with Intellectual Property where the right holders are trying to reign in infinite goods just because they can’t figure out a business plan to make money out of them.

  • 24.09 Quote of the Day: Past and Future

    Quoth Xenos

    Those who parade their history as an excuse for laziness and incompetence will soon discover that they have no future.

  • 28.08 Quote of the Day: Science contribution

    Quoth Matthew Cob and Jerry Coyne

    You suggest that science may bring about “advances in theological thinking”. In reality, the only contribution that science can make to the ideas of religion is atheism.
