Re: Script to generate a documentation about a RHEL5 server
sysreport
Does a fairly good job.
Beyond that, you will need to WRITE a script to go into better detail.

Re: Script to generate a documentation about a RHEL5 server
(Note: the auto-created anaconda-ks.cfg file will have the partitioning definition lines commented out for safety. Before using the auto-created file for Kickstart installations, verify and uncomment the partitioning definition. Also read RedHat documentation on Kickstart configuration files.)
The configuration report tools like the already-mentioned sysreport and cfg2html are very useful. But the most important documentation is often the one that tells *why* something is configured as it is.
For example, a script-generated configuration report might allow you to see that a specific option on System A has been disabled; but what it cannot tell you is that it was disabled because old systems X, Y and Z will fail to connect to System A if the option is enabled.
If the reason of disabling the option is documented, it makes it easier to see that once the systems X, Y and Z have been upgraded or removed, it would be a good time to re-evaluate enabling that option.
