You must develop a simple command-line application which receives a single command line argument which will be a fully-qualified hostname. The hostname must be validated against the schema and then the application must exit; if the hostname does not match the schema the exit status must be non-zero, only if the hostname matches the schema should the application exit with a zero exit status.
The application can be written in any language commonly available on a POSIX system but Ruby, Bash, or Java would be preferable for this solution.
- Hostnames should match a schema of:
[CHAR(2)]-[VARCHAR(<=6)]-[VARCHAR(<=5)]-[CHAR(1)][DECIMAL(2,0)].DOMAIN.LOCAL- The application should by default exit with a non-zero exit status. It should only exit with a zero status if the schema is matched correctly.
- Your application should be able to pass 100% of tests using
test.sh. - Your application should accept the hostname as a command-line arguement.
- Hostnames are not case-sensitive and should match regardless of case.
- Bonus points for
DOMAIN.LOCALbeing a variable which can be configured in some way.
In order to test if your application is behaving correctly you can test it by running the test.sh script in this directory.
$ ./test.sh path/to/application.bin
