Unix self-documentation

Leon Rzhemovskiy_1 — Wed, 12 Sep 2001 17:26:42 GMT

I am looking for shell/perl script or SAM function to self document HP-UX 11 on N Class server. Basically I need log file with security/storage/kernel etc. settings.

Thanks
Leon

You may be interested to take a look at this:
http://come.to/cfg2html

Cfg2html is a UNIX shell script that collects UNIX host information, similar to Hewlett Packards check_config or get_config, except that it creates an HTML (and plain ASCII) system documentation for HP-UX 10.xx/11.xx, SunOS/Solaris, SCO Open Server, Linux (SUSE, Debian & Red Hat) and NT4.0/Win2000 (currently beta) systems.

Hi Leon,

I'd also look at SysInfo which can do either ASCII or HTML. I've attached version 2.03.

All the best,
Jim

Here is a great ftp site that has allot of great system admin tools. Just browse though and see what you can find.

ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/

Here is the direct link to the nickel script.
ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/sysadmin/inventory/nickel/

It outputs allot of great info into html files.

HPs Ignite/UX comes with a utility called
print_manifest which lists useful system info.
If you have Ignite, you can just enter
print_manifest

you may want to look into unixdoc, a great program that runs with php/perl and apache. This is the best such programs that I have seen. You can get the tarball here

Hey Kevin ..
I downloaded the unixdoc .. It says it will run on 10.20. Have you ran this on 11.0 or 11i?

Hi Leon:

When you create an Ignite recovery tape with 'make_tape_recovery' (the replacement for 'make_recovery' in current Ignite versions) you *automatically* get a nicely formatted, summary of hardware, installed software, file system layout, swap information, kernel configuration and essential network parameters *without doing anything* other than creating the recovery tape!

There is no need to run a 'print_manifest'. Rather, one is automatically created each time as:

/var/opt/ignite/recover/latest/manifest

Regards!
