How do I check the commit lock status using the XML API ?

L1 Bithead

I am looking for help with how I can use the XML API to check a firewall commit status prior to invoking changes.

My script (using wget) needs to determine if a commit lock is already outstanding prior to making changes.

Thanks!

if you wan to check commit in progress:
type=op&cmd=<show><jobs><all></all></jobs></show>

it's an XML-API reply. 

 

a bash script is not ideal for what you are looking for. You should do python/php/perl script instead so you can parse XML replies propery and fairly easily

Wow -thanks for the help cpainchaud!

 

I got a huge reply - when I grepped "commit" the only element I see is <auto-acquire-commit-lock>no ...

I think that is the radio button on the web broswer window, but I am not sure that this is the xml element

I should be looking at.

 

Do you know what the name of the element is I should be looking for ?

 

Thanks!!!

I am going to use a Perl script - I am just using wget/bash to find out how the command works

 

Do you know the name of the XML element which designates that commit lock status ?

look at the HTTP answer, it's not just one element, it can be several ones.
