Hi all,
My complete script should check /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys, look for patterns, cut them out, copy the product to directories created if certain entries are in /etc/passwd and write a log. Every run of the script creates a new entry /var/tmp/scriptname/scriptname.numbers.numbers.log
The script is run by crontab in 10min intervalls.
I'd like my script to check whether /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys in the meantime (between crontab runs) and if yes execute the whole cycle.
All seems to work, except the part, where I want to check whether /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys have changed in the meantime.
In this excerpt I wanted to compare the modification time of /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys to the modification time of my log entries. If one entry is older than the modified key, run the rest.
The problem here is, that (stat($n))[9] always gives me a number smaller than (stat($root_auth_keys))[9]) I believe because this part here already updates the mtime of (stat($root_auth_keys))[9]).
I don't want to use a file as trigger.
my $logdir = "path/to/logdir"; opendir(LOGDIR, $logdir) or die "Can't open $logdir\n";
while ($_ = readdir LOGDIR) { next if $_ =~ /^\./; $_ = "$logdir/$_"; if ((stat($_))[9] > (stat($root_auth_keys))[9]) { print "stat: ", (stat($_))[9]; #debug print "stat: ", (stat($root_auth_keys))[9]; #debug
I'd be very thankful for any input to solve this.
Kind regards, lars.
