$0 [ARGUMENTS] HOSTNAME [SQL_COMMAND] 

  $0 implements a simple SQL shell which maps onto SNMP.  All
  statements issued within the shell are converted to SNMP requests and
  sent to HOSTNAME and the results displayed in a nice table output
  format if the Text::FormatTable module is available.  If SQL_COMMAND
  is given on the command line, then it's interpreted and control is
  returned to the caller.  If not, an interactive prompt is given where
  multiple commands can be issued.

ARGUMENTS may include:

  -t         delimiter separated output, don't print pretty tables.
  -d DELIM   use DELIM as the delimiter.  A tab is the default delimiter.
             'xml' is a special delimiter to produce xml output.

ARGUMENTS also may include the following.  See the net-snmp snmpcmd
manual page for details on what they mean:

  -v VERSION        (default: 1)
  -t TIMEOUT
  -r RETRIES
  -p PORT
  -c COMMUNITY
  -a AUTHPROTOCOL   (default: MD5)
  -x PRIVPROTOCOL   (default: DES)
  -A AUTHPASS
  -X PRIVPASS
  -l SECURITY_LEVEL (default: authNoPriv)

=head1 NAME

netsh - A shell environment for interacting with networking devices

=head1 SYNOPSIS

netsh [(subset of) snmpcmd arguments] hostname[,hostname...] [command]

=head1 OPTIONAL PERL MODULES

There are some optional perl modules which make using the shell nicer
in general.  These modules are:

  Text::FormatTable
  Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::ReadLine::Perl
  Term::ANSIColor

You can install these by running [as root]:

  perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan> install Text::FormatTable
  ...

It is B<strongly> recommend you at least install the Text::FormatTable
module, and if you like command line editing one of the two extra
Term::ReadLine modules (Gnu being the better of the two).

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The netsh script provides an interactive, console-like environment
suitable for monitoring and manipulating data within networking
devices.  The environment is highly extensible through command
aliases and easy-to-use SQL-like queries.

It is implemented on top of the SNMP protocol using the net-snmp
package and perl.  See the snmpcmd and snmp.conf manual pages for
details on configuring net-snmp for authentication information for
the networking devices you wish to access.

=head1 ABOUT THE EXAMLPES IN THIS DOCUMENT

All the examples in this document are exact cut-n-pastes from the
inside of the netsh shell.  This includes the "netsh> " prompt and
possibly other prompts as well.

=head1 COMMANDS

The following is a list of the basic core commands supported by
netsh.  Many default aliases are also supplied, some of which are
listed in the next section.  At the command prompt type "alias" for
a full list of all the aliases and their definitions.

=over

=item show columns from TABLE

=item select ... 

=item update ...

=item insert ...

=item delete ...

netsh supports the standard sql-like language queries of snmp tables.
These are implemented via the SQL::Statement parser, so any form of
expression it accepts netsh will accept as well.

Examples:

  netsh> show columns from ifTable
  +-----------------+
  |           Column|
  +-----------------+
  |          ifIndex|
  ...
  netsh> select * from ifTable
  ... [output not shown]
  netsh> select tcpConnState, tcpConnRemotelAddress from tcpConnTable where tcpConnState = established
  ... [output not shown]
  netsh> update ifTable set ifAdminStatus = up where ifOperStatus = down
  ... [output not shown]

=item SNMPOBJECT

Simple lists of objects may be given which will directly request or
operate on those objects.  See printf below for controlling the
formatting of results

Examples:

  netsh> sysContact.0, sysLocation.0
  hardaker@somewhere.net my location
  netsh> sysContact.0 = my new contact information

=item alias my_command some other command

or

=back

alias my_many_commands {
  command1
  command2
  prompt NUMBER question

}

=over

=item

You can create aliases of your frequently used commands by aliasing
them to an easy to remember name.  \N parameters in the defined
command will be replaced by the positional argument of options passed
to the alias name.

For multi-line defined aliases, optional prompts may be given to
request information from the user when the NUMBERth argument is not
given to the alias.  If it is not given, the prompt will be printed
and the user will be asked to input a value for it.  This allows the
easy definition of interactive commands.  The value will be inserted
in alias parts containing \N substitution requests.

  netsh> alias interfaces select ifDescr from ifTable
  netsh> interfaces
  +-------+
  |ifDescr|
  +-------+
  |     lo|
  |   eth0|
  +-------+
  netsh> alias interface select ifDescr, ifSpeed from ifTable where ifDescr = '\1'
  netsh> interface eth0
  +-------+--------+
  |ifDescr| ifSpeed|
  +-------+--------+
  |   eth0|10000000|
  +-------+--------+

=item printf FORMATSTRING COMMAND

Allows B<careful> formatting of results returned by the commands.

Example:

  netsh> alias interface {
  define interface> printf "interface %s is running at %d Mb/s\n" select ifDescr, ifSpeed from ifTable where ifDescr = '\1'
  define interface> prompt 1 Enter the interface to describe:
  define interface> }
  netsh> interface
  Enter the interface to describe: eth0
  interface eth0 is running at 10000000 Mb/s

To list the definition of an already defined command, simply exclude
the definition and netsh will report the definition to you:

  netsh> alias interface
  alias interface {
    printf "interface %s is running at %d Mb/s\n" select ifDescr, ifSpeed from ifTable where ifDescr = '\1'
    prompt 1 Enter the interface to describe:
  }

To list all the aliases defined in the system, just type "alias" by itself.

=item watch [TIME] COMMAND

Continually watches the results of the COMMAND being run, which is run
every TIME seconds.  For select statements, it will attempt to mark
the changing values from one screen to the next by surrounding them
with "*"s or color (assuming you have the Term::ANSIColor perl module
installed) for easy picking out on the screen.

=item rehash

Re-load the alias definitions files in the common directory, as
well as those files found in $HOME/.snmp/netsh.

=item source FILE

loads definitons and commands from FILE into the running environment.

=back

=head1 FILES

By default, netsh will source all the definition files it can find.
It does this by first reading everything in
/usr/local/share/snmp/netsh/* and then reading everything in
$HOME/.snmp/netsh/*.  Everything contained in these files are
commands, but most frequently they entirely consist of aliases
definitions.
