Date: Monday, May 7, 2012
Time: 7:30pm
(Our speaker has supplied the following
regarding his talk)
OS versions, I/O hardware, CPU count, RAM,
disk LUNs, tape
drives,
applications...
Keeping track of each system can be daunting,
especially when the
server count goes above
one. Besides being useful to the system
administrators,
management is always looking for reports and in-
ventories.
So the average sysadmin goes about trying to collect
the data, then
script something, then summarize...
cfg2html
is a comprehensive open source script collection that
produces a clickable
html file as well as an equivalent text file
and error
listing. Similar tools exist for various
flavors of
Unix but cfg2html is one of the more comprehensive and change-
managed inventory
collectors available to AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and
Linux sysadmins.
We'll look at samples from each of the platforms
as well as a few
scripting techniques to create CSV files for
spreadsheets and
reports.
The URL for cfg2html
and some background history about the code
will be provided.

Description of the Group
Log of past and
future meetings (and handouts)
Prior to the meeting, there will be an informal, non-structured
"guru" session open to anyone wishing to attend. This will
start
around 6:45pm in the meeting room, and we will have
one or
more gurus available to discuss whatever topics/problems/questions
the attendees care to bring up.
For those who need some sustenance before the meeting, you will
find kindred AUUG spirits at "Applebee's" restaurant, 130 Perimeter
Center Place (corner of Meadow Lane Rd, next to Loehman's) just 1/2
block from the meeting place. Drop in any time after 5:30pm to sit
around and chew the fat and indulge in some of their fine cuisine.
This is a chance for folks to get together and exchange rumors,
ideas, assistance, etc..
