Maintenance mode scripts

Hello,

I don't know where to post it, and it's not a question, but I wanted to share this with the community: I have been looking for an automated way to pause/put into maintenance mode all our servers.
I don't want to lookup the id for every machine and create an individual file. Since I couldn't find a 'howto' on the net, I have created 2 scripts myself. 1 for Linux & 1 for windows. Am I not a developer/scripter, so the code will be ugly and there will probably be a better way to do stuff, but, here it is:

! Before you can start with either script, you'll need a DEDICATED service account with password set to never expires, make sure this account has permissions to put machines in maintenance mode. Log in with this account, go to the account properties and click "show passhash".

The scripts work as follows:
It connects to the PRTG server to download the list of machines (FQDN based!!!)+ IDs. It then compares the hostname to the name in the file. It then does a webcall to that ID.

LINUX: (bash script, so save as .sh and execute at shutdown)

#/bin/sh
# Script that can automatically pause the sensors on PRTG for xx minutes with reboot
# variables
######setup details, access related.

#auth is retrieved from the logged in user - should be a service account, because hash changes when password changes
auth="username=SERVICEACCOUNT&passhash=1111111111"
PRTGHost="prtg.fqdn.dom"
#duration of pause
durationinminutes="10"
localdir="/scripts/prtg/maintmode"
if [ ! -d "/scripts" ]; then
	mkdir /scripts
fi
if [ ! -d  "/scripts/prtg" ]; then
	mkdir /scripts/prtg

if [ ! -d  $localdir ]; then
	mkdir $localdir
fi
PRTGUrl="http://$PRTGHost/api/table.xml?content=devices&output=csvtable&columns=objid,host&count=2500&$auth"
#Retrieve list of devices
wget --no-check-certificate -O ${localdir}/devices.csv ${PRTGUrl}

#Retrieve FQDN

do
	fqdn=$LINE

typeset -l fqdn
shopt -s nocasematch # set environment case insesitive
# Read csv into array
read -d '' -r -a lines < ${localdir}/devices.csv
for i in "${lines[@]}"
do
	IFS=', ' read -ra linearray <<< "$i"
	arrayvalue="${linearray[2]}"
	typeset -l arrayvalue
	#remove quotes from value
	newarray=$(echo $arrayvalue|sed 's/\"//g'|tee)
	
	#echo "$fqdn - $newarray"
	
	if [[ $newarray == $fqdn ]]; then
		#echo "$newarray - IN IF LOOP"
		serverID=$(echo ${linearray[0]}|sed 's/\"//g'|tee) 
		#remove quotes from value
		echo "Server ${linearray[2]} found with ID $serverID"
		PauseURL="http://$PRTGHost/api/pauseobjectfor.htm?id=$serverID&duration=$durationinminutes&pausemsg=Automatically%20paused%20for%20server%20reboot%20(10%20minutes)&$auth"
		echo $PauseURL
		# Put machine in pause
		wget --no-check-certificate -O ${localdir}/pausedir.html $PauseURL 
	fi	
done

WINDOWS: (powershell - so add a .bat file next to it to launch the script, configure with GPO)

Hopefully this helps you guys out :)
