Help with script

[Jason Arrhaman]

I need help writing a script that will run a series of commands like bdf, lanscan, vgdisplay etc . . and append each of the outputs from these commands to a single text file. Also I would like the script to separate the output from each command by a number of lines and have a header for each output section like: "Disk info" just above the output for BDF etc.


Anyone have any ideas?

The gurus here have idea that you will not even belive it. But I don't

Just start something simple like

#!/bin/sh
echo "disk info" > myoutput
bdf -l >> myoutput
echo "\n\n" >> myoutput
echo "lanscan info" >> myoutput
lanscan >> myoutput

and so on.......


> will create a file myoutput
>> will append to the file

hi,

I got this from this forum long back. Not able to recollect the date and thread. But a great script which I am using once in a month to collect statistics. Go through the script and modify for your requirements.
Check the comment section also. I am very grateful to the people who wrote and gave this script.

HTH
