Automatically capture HPUX system and application information

[Jay_122]

Are there scripts that capture HPUX system and application information (including software not installed by software distributor)? I would like to set up a cron job to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

The following may help - but for software not installed by SD - will require scripting on your part...

http://come.to/cfg2html

Run from cron like so:

#Run the cfg2html cripts
35 6 1 * * cd /opt/cfg2html ; /opt/cfg2html/cfg2html_hpux.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

Attached is sysinfo3.01

Run from cron like so:
# Run the sysinfo script
0 6 1 * * /usr/local/sysinfo/sysinfo -a -b -o /usr/tmp/`hostname`.sysinfo >/tmp/sysinfo.cron 2>&1

The script I am attaching does part of the job.

It nicely documents the system.


Its hard to document non-depot software because it kind of gets installed all over the place.

If software is installed by means other than swinstall, then there are no methods to capture such other than manually keeping track of all files (size, checksum, date last modified, ...). Maybe you want to turn auditing on??

For system stuff, you can usually get away with using print_manifest.
