Updating Sophos IDE files Automatically
More like this
Article ID: KB157
The information in this article applies to MailMarshal SMTP and was
first reported on March 20, 2001.
This article applies to the following versions: 3.x,4.x, 5.x
DESCRIPTION
Sophos AntiVirus post new IDE files on their website when new
viruses have been identified. If you subscribe to the Sophos email
notification service, you will receive a notification email whenever
a new IDE is available. You can then configure MailMarshal to
automatically run a batch file to download the new IDE files when
the Sophos notification is received.
The following knowledge base article is done in two sections, this
is due changes made to MailMarshal. In later versions of MailMarshal
you do not need to restart the MailMarshal Engine service, this has
been reflected in the first part.
MailMarshal 4.2.x, 5.x
MailMarshal 4.1.x and earlier
MailMarshal 4.2.x, 5.x
1) Subscribe to the Sophos email notification service.
To do this, refer to the Sophos website
(www.sophos.com/virusinfo/notifications).
2) Install the SGET utility.
The SGET utility can be downloaded from the 'Downloads' section on
the Sophos website. The SGET utility is also available from the
'Tools' folder on the Sophos CD.
3) Create a batch file to download and install the latest IDE files.
This outlines the batch file needed to download and install the
updated IDE's.
Save this file as ide.cmd in your MailMarshal install directory.
@echo off
Rem You must set the MailMarshal and Sophos install directories
below
Rem as appropriate for your installation.
Rem Enter the computer name or login you want notified if an error
occurs
set MailMarshalInstall=C:\Program Files\Marshal Software\MailMarshal
set SophosInstall=C:\Program Files\Sophos SWEEP for NT

net start "SWEEP for Windows NT" > "%detailfile%" 2>&1
if errorlevel 1 goto Failed

exit /b

Echo ******************************************* >> "%logfile%"
Notes:
This example uses UNZIP to extract the Sophos IDE.zip file. This
is located in the MailMarshal Install directory on the MailMarshal
server.
The install path for MailMarshal in the example is set to
C:\Program Files\Marshal Software\MailMarshal and path for Sophos
is C:\Program Files\Sophos SWEEP for NT. These are the current
default install directories for these programs, if you have
anything different you will need to adjust the script accordingly.
The script will also write information to a SophosUpdate.txt file
located in the MaiMarshal install directory. An example of
information recorded is:
-----------------------------
Sophos update process starting Wed 20/11/2002 16:12:44.60
Deleting Existing IDES Wed 20/11/2002 16:12:44.64

Unpacking Complete Wed 20/11/2002 16:12:56.14
Stopping Sophos services Wed 20/11/2002 16:12:56.14
Starting Sophos services Wed 20/11/2002 16:13:01.81
Update complete Wed 20/11/2002 16:13:12.25.
In the event of the update procedure not correctly completing
update additional information will be recorded in the
SophosErrorDetails.txt file and a net popup send to specified
user/computer.
4) Create a Text Censor Script to detect when the Sophos
notification email is received.
5) Set up an External Command to run ide.cmd file.
Notes:
As shown above you will have to raise the timeout value for this
external command. If you do not you may find the Sophos email
notifications get deadlettered because of timeout errors and the
updates do not finish successfully.
6) Set up a rule to run the External Command when the Text Censor
Script is triggered.
MailMarshal 4.1.x and Earlier
1) Subscribe to the Sophos email notification service.
To do this, refer to the Sophos website
(www.sophos.com/virusinfo/notifications).
2) Install the SGET utility.
The SGET utility can be downloaded from the 'Downloads' section on
the Sophos website. The SGET utility is also available from the
'Tools' folder on the Sophos CD.
3) Create a batch file to download and install the latest IDE
files.
In this example, we will call the batch file ide.cmd. The batch
file should look something like this: -
@echo off
REM *** Set the MailMarshal and Sophos install directories. Note
you should modify these to reflect your own installation
directories ***
set MailMarshalInstall=C:\Program Files\Designer
Technology\MailMarshal3
set SophosInstall=C:\Program Files\Sophos SWEEP for NT
REM *** Delete old ide files and ide zip file ***
del "%SophosInstall%\*.ide"
del "%SophosInstall%\ides.zip"
REM *** Download latest ide zip from from Sophos website ***
cd "%SophosInstall%"
SGET http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/ides.zip
REM *** Stop the MailMarshal and Sophos services ***
net stop "MailMarshal Engine"
net stop "SWEEP for Windows NT"
net stop "SWEEP for Windows NT Network"
REM *** Extract the ide zip file ***
cd "%SophosInstall%"
"%MailMarshalInstall%\unzip.exe"-o ides.zip
REM *** Start the MailMarshal and Sophos services ***
net start "SWEEP for Windows NT Network"
net start "SWEEP for Windows NT"
net start "MailMarshal Engine"
Notes:
This example uses UNZIP to extract the Sophos IDE.zip file. This
is located in the MailMarshal Install directory on the MailMarshal
server.
The install path in this example is for releases up to 4.1 or if
you have upgraded from an earlier version. If it is a new install
of 4.2 then the directory will be "C:\Program Files\Marshal
Software\Mailmarshal\"
From MailMarshal 4.2.0.18 onwards, it is no longer necessary to
stop and start the MailMarshal engine service in the above batch
file.
4) Create another batch file to run IDE.cmd.
In this example we will call the batch file RunIDE.cmd. This is the
batch file that will be run by MailMarshal as an external command.
If you simply run IDE.cmd as an external command, when the
MailMarshal engine service is stopped, the batch file will terminate
and the update will not complete. Creating a second batch file
enables IDE.cmd to run as a separate process, preventing it from
terminating when the engine is stopped. The batch file should look
similar to this: -
start cmd.exe /C "C:\Program Files\Designer
Technology\Mailmarshal3\IDE.cmd"
5) Create a Text Censor Script to detect when the Sophos
notification email is received.
6) Set up an External Command to run RunIDE.cmd.
7) Set up a rule to run the External Command when the Text Censor
Script is triggered.
