returning system activity table information.

[Shawn Doherty]

Hello.

I was hoping someone had an idea on the best way to get activity
information from a system in beaker.

My situation is that I am trying to incorporate parts of the Beaker CLI in
a bash script to automate Request Tracker work.  Part of this would require
getting the activity history from a requested system. I didn't find
anything suitable when looking through the Beaker CLI.  wget wasn't
returning the information that I needed from a call to #history.   I'm
throwing this out there to see if anyone on the list had any suggestions.
Looking specifically for getting the information on User and
Action:Returned.

Thanks, Shawn

Adding Keith Fryklund to the thread. I know he has automated things
previously he maybe able to help.

Beaker does not have a client command to get the activity from a system.
You could use this API[1]
which gives you the user and action information.

You can get the activity of a system via Teiid[1] (i.e. query an SQL 
database).

Here's an example code & query:

Hope that helps,
