This looks to be an under-commented and under-documented shell script (and probably using bash, though unfortunately lacking the hashbang) for HP Integrity servers and PA-RISC servers running HP-UX, and some sort of distributed web-based management of those servers.
This script provides a primitive web-based front end for an application that processes the network configuration and the hardware configuration, as well as looking at the server logs in some detail.
From what I see of it, it'll be a complete rewrite.
Most everything that this script is doing is specific to Unix, and a whole lot of what I see here is specific to HP-UX on PA-RISC and Integrity servers.
You'll need a programmer here that's somewhat familiar with bash HP-UX and very familiar with OpenVMS I/O and device configuration, and this "port" will be a complete rewrite of this script. As part of this "port", I'd look to move to a scripting language supported on all of the target platforms, and toward (somewhat) common source code.
All of the VMS scripting languages are either down-revision, or unsupported. Perl, php, Python, Lua, etc. And a DCL port would be full-parallel maintenance of two scripts.
As for the GNV bash implementation, that's a headache. Often a large one. All headaches and bash problems and limitations and omissions aside, this target task and involving tools such as ioscan, sasmgr, sautil and other HP-UX tools, will find GNV and its bash entirely inadequate. These tools are all platform-specific.
I'd likely also look at integrating this work with SNMP, but there may well be other scripts around that provide this path into the server.
