Add CDP information on Absolute Manage on Mac OS X

The script below can be used to show CDP information on Absolute Manage for Mac OS X clients. To make the script working, it’s necessary first to compile the cdpr tool. This step is documented in another post on this blog. You can simply add this script to a new Custom Information Field in Absolute Manage and assign to all computers.

Two variables are editable :
– The path to the cdpr binary (CDPR_PATH)
– The timeout (CDPR_TIMEOUT)

#!/bin/bash
#adminsys.ch - FTBZ - 31.08.2012

#VARIABLES
CDPR_PATH="/usr/local/bin/cdpr"
CDPR_TIMEOUT="90"

#CHECK IF CDPR WAS INSTALLED
if [ ! -f $CDPR_PATH ];then
echo "cdpr seems not installed on this computer."
exit
fi

#GET ETHERNET NETWORK INTERFACES
INTERFACES=`networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder | awk '/Ethernet/{getline; print $(NF)}' | sed "s/.$//"`

#SHOW THE CDPR INFORMATION
for INTERFACE in $INTERFACES; do
$CDPR_PATH -t $CDPR_TIMEOUT -d $INTERFACE | awk '/Device ID|Port ID/{getline; print $(NF)}'
done

exit

This script was tested only with Mac OS X 10.7 and OS X 10.8.
