It's not what you want, but this might work.
No comments on the legality of what you want to do.
#!/bin/sh
# grabs the pcname using nmblookup and dumps it to a file.
nmblookup -A $1 | head --lines=2 | tail --lines=1 | awk '{print $1}' > pcname
# checks if the filesize is greater than one, which indicates something
# was written to it(like the remote pcname)
if [ `ls -l pcname | awk '{print $5}'` -gt 1 ]; then
echo "your statement on fixing" | smbclient -U yourname -I $1 -M `cat name`;
else
echo "Couldn't find servername(or Mike can't code)"
fi;
Call it with ./filename IP, of course.
It'll probably horribly break if it can't find some of this stuff, and my
redirect into a file called pcname is just ugly. So's the head/tail
thing, actually. You can clean it up and add your own error detection.
I'm sure I also won a useless use of cat award too. I'll put it in my
collection.
Someone have a way to clean that up, so it can be done in one chain?
Mike
