Need a custom monitor code/script (paid work)

slicebox

Hi, am trying to monitor m3u8 http url, and here is what i need. A script that can monitor this.

1. get the http response from m3u8 url, the response generally contains a parameter bandwidth=some digit within that response in plain text.
2. script needs to read this digit, and should trigger a second set of script if the above digit is less than a number say 500000
3. second set of script, should be able to ssh to a external box, get the PID using a particular grep command, issue a kill on the pid.
4. send a email as work is done.
5. that should be it.

script should run on centos. any takers. basically i need to do this for like 10 urls, every 5min.

thank you very much.

Easy enough - I hope you didn't offer any serious money for this

Have a freebie:

#!/bin/bash

url="http://url/playlist.m3u8"
minbw="500000"
sshserver="user@hostname"
procname="ffserver"

bandwidth=$(curl --connect-timeout 5 -s "$url" | grep -Po '(?<=BANDWIDTH=)[0-9]*')
if [ "$bandwidth" == "" ]; then
  echo "Error: Could not get bandwidth from $url"
  exit 0
fi

killproc(){
  local killresult
  killresult=$(ssh $sshserver "pkill $procname")
  case "$?" in
  0)
    echo "Success: process $procname at $sshserver was killed"
    # use smtp-cli to send an email here
    ;;
  1)
    echo "Failed: process $procname at $sshserver was not killed"
    # optional smtp-cli here
    ;;
  esac
}

if [ "$bandwidth" -lt "$minbw" ]; then
  killproc
fi

This script assumes a couple of things - you've setup ssh keys/etc, you have a single running $procname process (although this could be changed into a grep/pgrep to get a certain PID), and you know how to setup smtp-cli (or an alternate email-from-cmdline method).

Happy new year!

Segment, i think this is what i need, same kind of script. so far have not offered anyone anything yet, but do you have spare time to get this script / write script for me , i cannot write code, so, however i can understand code. and how much to be paid.
