View source for cpmiquerybin on SmartCenter server

cpmiquerybin is a useful tool found on Check Point Provider-1 servers.  Ever wish you had it on a SmartCenter?  Well, you can.  Copy the cpmiquerybin from a Provider-1 (OF THE SAME Check Point VERSION) to your SmartCenter.

 
== set environment variables ==


add the following lines to $CPDIR/tmp/.CPprofile.sh

 MSP_SOMEIP_ADDR="192.168.1.10"; export MSP_SOMEIP_ADDR
 MDSDIR="/opt/CPshrd-R75.40"; export MDSDIR

source it to make them take effect...
 [Expert@ckkpmgr]# source $CPDIR/tmp/.CPprofile.sh

or logout / login


== successful test run ==


 [Expert@ckkpmgr]# '''cpmiquerybin attr "" network_objects "name='LocalMachine'" -a __name__'''
 get_cust_name: couldn't find /customers/ within fwdir
 LocalMachine

The error concerning the customers dir is annoying.  I tried to make some dummy dirs to fake it out...

 mkdir /opt/CPsuite-R75.40/fw1/customers
 mkdir /opt/CPsuite-R75.40/fw1/customers/dummy
 mkdir /opt/CPshrd-R75.40/customers
 mkdir /opt/CPshrd-R75.40/customers/dummy

but it didn't work... so, best to use a function.


== use a function to filter out get_cust_name error ==

add a global function to /etc/profile
 function cpquery() { /usr/local/bin/cpmiquerybin "$@" 2>&1 | grep -v "get_cust_name: couldn't find";}

then, use the function cpquery at the shell command line in place of cpmiquerybin.  You aren't supposed to use aliases in scripts, maybe you can use the global function?  or you can define the function in all your scripts.
