[cobalt-users] Script to add secondary DNS? Xposted on Developers and Users.

["Joe Quinn" <joe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to make up a script to automate adding secondary DNS for one of
my customers. He provides me with a data file containing all the domains and
I want to run the following script but I don't know how to bring in the
variables from the data file.


#!/bin/sh
echo secondary - $1 www.xxx.yyy.zz - >> records


$1 is obviously the variable from the data file and the script is run in the
/etc/named directory. After the script is run, I can either run
/usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/dns/index.cgi
or restart using the GUI. I've just got a mental block on this one! Can
anyone assist please?

Once I get this working I might make a cron job to grab a data file (if any)
off his server to automate doing secondaries. Any thoughts anyone?
