Problem with system.run

[rutkowsky]

Hello there

I have a problem with system.run command. I'm trying to copy some files from network shares. From local folder works fine.

Type: Zabbix Agent


Key: system.run[cmd.exe /c copy \\[ip address]\[folder name]\[filename] [Local folder] /Y,nowait]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for all replys in advance.

I suspect it's the backslash "\"... it is being interpreted as a prefix to a special character.

Yes it's true. I've changed to "cmd.exe /C \"copy \" ... but I found in log file (Debug Level 4) "Access is denied". Zabbix Agent is logged on as Local System Account with full control to local folder. Should I log on as Administrator?

UserParameter=copy[*],do_copy.cmd $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8

and do_copy.cmd is:

@echo off
rem copy \\[ip address]\[folder name]\[filename] [Local folder] /Y,nowait]
copy \\%1\%2\%3 %4 /Y,nowait

AFAIK, SYSTEM account doesn't have any access to any network share, but I'm not 100% sure.

[steveboyson]

ArtemK, that is completely right. For accessing network shares a regular user account is to be used. That means zabbix_agentd.exe needs to run under this user account.

yep

Another way is to add command

net use \\ip\IPC$ /user:%user@domain% %pass%

to steveboyson's script, but there is problem with clear-text password

I've run Zabbix Agent under Administrator Account and it works. Thank you all for your help.
