Purpose

To monitor for emails, then execute commands. In this case we want to

Look for emails from users
Verify the user sent the email
Reboot their remote desktop
Check for errors
Report to the user the desktop is ready

For this run we want a Linux server to be the middle man to watch an inbox hosted on Office365, then tell Windows machines to reboot. If the Windows machine does not respond we want to use powercli to forcibly reboot using vsphere (and eventually KVM, which is ironically much easier to do. But when execs want to spend money on the main stream....)

Process

Here I am using Centos 7 with a basic install. Epel-release is installed as well.

Email Config

Sendmail

This is so we can send confirmation emails back to the user.

yum -y install sendmail sendmail-cf
echo "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx youremail.relay" >> /etc/hosts
sed 's/dnl\ define\(\`SMART_HOST\'\,\ \`smtp\.your\.provider\'\)/define\(\`SMART_HOST\'\,\ \`youremail\.relay\'\)/' /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
systemctl restart sendmail

Fetchmail

Install fetchmail

yum -y install fetchmail

Create a non-root user dedicated to the task

useradd mailuser
passwd mailuser
su mailuser
cd ~/

Create .fetchmailrc and add the following contents

poll outlook.office365.com protocol imap port 993 username "user@login.tld" password "password" ssl sslfingerprint "97:08:33:5A:74:09:CC:EA:28:2D:9C:A4:49:3B:A2:C7"

The fingerprint can be obtained using openssl^[1]^[2]

openssl s_client -connect outlook.office365.com:993 -showcerts | openssl x509 -fingerprint -noout -md5

At this point you can run the following. If you created a new inbox your output should look similar^[3]

[emailuser@testserver ~]$ fetchmail -v --sslproto TLS1.2+ --sslcertck

Parse Received Email

In this poor example I will be parsing the emails through a custom script. It would probably be better to do this using established tools.

Resolving user names from email

LDAP Search

Install openldap client ^[4]

yum -y install openldap-clients

Parsing directly from email

In this sample we want to pull the email address and subject from the email.^[5]

#!/bin/bash
filetag1="/tmp/email_$(date +%s)"
filetag2="/tmp/parse_$(date +%s)"
filetag3="/tmp/address_$(date +%s)"
emailsource="<address>@<tld>"
subject="Subject: Reboot Request $(date +%m%d%y%M)"
mail1="/home/<rebootuser>/templates/mail1.txt"
fetchmail --sslproto TLS1.2+ --sslcertck
if [ "$?" -ne "1" ] && [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
	/usr/bin/echo "$(date) : Failed to download emails" >> /home/<rebootuser>/fetch_log
else
	/usr/bin/cp /var/mail/<rebootuser> $filetag1
	grep -E Subject:\|From: $filetag1 | sed 'N;s/\n/ /' > $filetag2
	:> /var/mail/email
	/usr/bin/rm -f $filetag1
	while read line; do
	from1=$(grep -Eo "From:.*[a-zA-Z_'-']+@[a-zA-Z_'-']+.com>" <<<$line | sed -e 's/From:\ [A-Za-z]\+\ [A-Za-z]\+\ <//g; s/>//g')
	if grep -qiE domain1.tld\|domain2.tld <<< $from1 ; then
		echo "$subject" | cat - "$mail1" | sendmail -f $emailsource $from1
		/home/<rebootuser>/restart.sh $from1 &
	fi
	done < $filetag2
	/usr/bin/rm $filetag2
fi
sleep 10
nohup /home/<rebootuser>/reademail.sh >/dev/null &
exit

Restarting Machines

Restart Windows Machines Using Native Tools

Install samba-common-tools^[6]

yum -y install samba-common-tools

A command like the following will work^[7]

net rpc shutdown -r -W <domain> -S <hostname> --user <username>

Full Script

In this example I am looking through a directory in which a file is written every time a user logs in. The file name has the computer name and the samaccountname.
It also assumes the samaccountname is first.last.
Also that your primary SMTP proxy address is the address you are sending from.
This script is called by the email script, with the email address as input.

#!/bin/bash
netreboot_log="/home/<rebootuser>/netreboot_log"
filelocation="<mount point>"
ldapsearch_log="/home/<rebootuser>/ldapsearch_log"
emailsource="<account>@<domain.tld>"
subject="Subject: Reboot Request $(date +%m%d%y%M)"
mail2="/home/<rebootuser>/templates/mail2.txt"
mail3="/home/<rebootuser>/templates/mail3.txt"
mail4="/home/<rebootuser>/templates/mail4.txt"
mail5="/home/<rebootuser>/templates/mail5.txt"
mail6="/home/<rebootuser>/templates/mail6.txt"
mail7="/home/<rebootuser>/templates/mail7.txt"
mail8="/home/<rebootuser>/templates/mail8.txt"

user=$(ldapsearch -x -h <domain.tld> -D "cn=rebootuser,ou=Users,DC=<domain>,DC=<tld>" -w <password> -b OU=Users,DC=<domain>,DC=<tld> "(&(objectClass=user)(proxyaddresses=SMTP:$1))" samaccountname | grep -iEo sAMAccountName:\ [a-z]+\.[a-z]+$ | sed 's/sAMAccountName:\ //')


if ! grep -qiE [a-z]+\.[a-z]+$  <<< $user; then
	echo "$(date) : Failed to retrieve user associated with $1" >> $ldapsearch_log
	echo "$subject" | cat - "$mail2" | sendmail -f $emailsource $1
else
	image=$(echo $(ls -t1 $filelocation | grep -i <machine name prefix> | grep -i $user | head -1) | grep -Eio csp-vdi-[0-9]\{1,2\})
	net rpc shutdown -r -t 0 -W domain.tld -S $image --user <reboot user>%<password>
	if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
		echo "$(date) : Reboot of $image failed" >> $netreboot_log
		echo "$subject" | cat - "$mail3" | sendmail -f $emailsource $1
	else
		ping="0%"
		count="0"
		until [ "$ping" = "100%" ];
		do
		if [ "$count" -eq "120" ]; then
			echo "$(date) : $image has not gone down after 2 minutes" >> $netreboot_log
			ping="100%"
			testout="failed"
			echo "$subject" | cat - "$mail3" | sendmail -f $emailsource $1
		else
			count=$((count + 1))
			ping=$(ping -c1 -W1 $image | grep -Eo [0-9]+\%)
			sleep 1
		fi
		done
		if [ "$testout" != "failed" ]; then
			ping="100%"
			count="0"
			testout="other"
			until [ "$ping" = "0%" ];
			do
			if [ "$count" -eq "300" ]; then
				echo "$(date) : $image has not come back up after 5 minutes" >> $netreboot_log
				ping="0%"
				testout="failed"
				echo "$subject" | cat - "$mail4" | sendmail -f $emailsource $1
			else
				count=$((count + 1))
				ping=$(ping -c1 -W1 $image | grep -Eo [0-9]+\%)
			fi
			done
		echo "$subject" | cat - "$mail5" | sendmail -f $emailsource $1
		echo "Waiting 2 minutes for $image to finish booting"
		sleep 120
		fi
		if [ "$testout" != "failed" ]; then
			echo "$subject" | cat - "$mail6" | sendmail -f $emailsource $1
		fi
	fi
fi
exit
