Description
This script is an example of how to use Dollar Universe Triggers with the curl utility.
Besides curl, this script uses sed, tr and awk.

Operating systems
Linux.
This script may run on Unix plateforms, but please note that, due to the variety of implementations, some adjustments may be needed.
For example, on SunOS, you may have to change awk by nawk.

This script has been briefly tested on:

• Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux , curl 7.19.7


• Linux 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5PAE i386 GNU/Linux, curl 7.15.5


• SunOS 5.11 11.0 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise, curl 7.21.2, (need to replace awk by nawk)

Prerequisites

• Having curl utility installed (version 7.18.0 minimum is required to use --data-urlencode). See http://curl.haxx.se

How to use

• Replace the variables defined at the beginning of the script


• HOST: the hostname of the targeted Dollar Universe node


• PORT: the port number of the Dollar Universe API


• USER: the login used for authentication


• PWD: the password used for authentication


• EVENT: the name of the event type to send


• AREA: the Dollar Universe targeted area

• Run the script

Note: If the curl version is greater than 7.18.0, the data are sent in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format; otherwise, the data are sent in text/plain format (--data-urlencode unsupported).


Output
The output gives information about the three steps of the script:

• Login


• Event type send


• Logout
