Siteminder Configuration View Script

Like a lot of Siteminder Admins, I spend a lot of time looking at the WebAgent.conf + SmHost.conf using standard quick UNIX command line commands:

• ps -ef | grep LL
• copy the path to the running WebAgent.conf
• cat /copied/path/to/WebAgent.conf
• copy the path the the SmHost.conf from WebAgent.conf HostConfigFile line
• cat /copied/path/to/SmHost.conf

I want to do this using a simple function key–so I need to pipe it all through something reasonable.

so I start with this:

server (user):/home/user>ps -ef | grep LL | grep -v grep
user 8383     1  0  2016 ?        01:00:27 LLAWP /path/to/the/conf/WebAgent.conf -APACHE22

And then I get this:

ps -ef | grep LL | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $9}’

which gives me the /path/to/the/conf/WebAgent.conf file & adding cat to that is simple:

cat `ps -ef | grep LL | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $9}’`

and you can feed this to a grep to get the SmHost file location:

cat `ps -ef | grep LL | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $9}’` | grep Host  HostConfigFile=”/path/to/installed/webagent/config/SmHost.conf”

which is getting fairly complicated

cat `ps -ef | grep LL | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $9}’` | grep Host  HostConfigFile=”/path/to/installed/webagent/config/SmHost.conf”| grep Host | awk ‘{gsub(“HostConfigFile=”, “”);print}’
