UNIX Admin Task List

[Steve Bazinet_1]

I have been tasked with developing a list of UNIX Admin tasks that should be done on a box on a daily/weekly/monthy/etc... basis. The list assumes no automation tools. Does anyone have such a document that they use? Why re-invent the wheel if it already exists.

Thanks

Steve

Steve,

There will not be better answers to your question than that are mentioned in the thread already posted by Clemens in his second message.

I don't have a ready made task list, but can surely give you some inputs.

1. Delete core files regularly from your system.

find / -name core -exec rm -f {} \;

2. Copy your /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file to OLDsyslog.log

3. Reboot your server to kill any hung processes and refresh all running daemons.

4. Verify the dmesg log's for any errors.

5. Verify for new patches on the ITRC site.
