[mrtg] cfgmaker script gives ^M

[Geba, Scott]

Thank you very much... and yes, I am ashamed. But all of my ip lists are
in excel and I'm pretty bad in vi

Open your scripts with vi using the -b option for binary.

 

You should then be able to see the ^M characters.

 

Then use the vi command

 

:g/^V^M/s///g

 

to remove the ^M characters.

 

For the ^V ^M press and hold Ctrl then press the character at the same
time.

 

Shame on you for creating unix scripts with notepad.

Subject: [mrtg] cfgmaker script gives ^M

I'm running cfgmaker through a script set in crontab to run once a week
to discover new interfaces, etc. I had this set up for about 5 devices
and it worked great. I recently created a few more scripts with about 30
or so devices each in them, when they are run the last device has a ^M
in it that causes a carriage return and needless to say, messes it up
pretty bad. I created the scripts in notepad in windows and copied them
over the server, figuring this was the issue I opened them up in vi to
try and remove the ^M but there was none. I even overwrote the last few
parts of the line to see if the ^M would get overwritten, no luck. Now
when the scripts run I get a ^M on every script for the last device. It
inserts itself after the ip address so it all looks like this:

 

Target[1.1.1.1^M

_Gi8_24]: #Gi8/24:public at 1.1.1.1^M

:::::2

 

Again, this only happens for the last device in my list of ip's. Any
ideas?
