Script:

sysdoc_html (creates html documents)

Script:

sysdoc_txt (creates text output)

Sysdoc documents HPUX systems by selectively querying various subsystems then formatting and printing the results to the screen. The user can then decide, using standard UNIX utilities, to redirect the output to a printer, file, or another program.

UPDATE: (10/24/01)I updated sysdoc to create html documents in /tmp directory. In case people want the original txt version, I left that on the site as well. Both scripts provide the same information, just a different format.

Configuration:

There is only one thing that can be or need to be configured within this script:

  1. System serial number: The program will use a parameter called ${serial} as the system serial number. The ${serial} parameter can either be set by a command line argument or read from the contents of the ${serial_file}. ${serial_file} is set on/about line 989 of the sysdoc script and defaults to /usr/local/etc/serial_number. If there is no command line argument supplied, and the /usr/local/etc/serial_number file doesn’t exist, the script will report the serial number as “Not Recorded”.

Execution:

sysdoc [ SERIAL_NUMBER ]

Report details:

  1. General Information: The script obtains and displays the following:

    1. Host name

    2. OS level

    3. Number, type, and speed of processors

    5. Model number.

    6. NIS master, if the system is using NIS.

    7. System uptime report.

  2. Kernel Parameters

    1. Current kernel parameters:

    1. On HPUX 11.X and appropriately patched 10.X systems, the program formats the output of kmtune and kmsystem.

    2. Otherwise, the system obtains and displays the output of the sysdef command.

    1. The system obtians and displays the current kernel system file.

  5. Local Area Network information: the system obtains and displays the LAN interfaces and their associated device drivers.

  6. Printer information: The system obtains and displays the following: a. Printer name b. Printer IP c. Whether or not the printer is enabled. d. Whether or not the printer is accepting print jobs.

  7. Disk Hardware information: the system obtains and displays the following information for each physical disk on the system:

    1. Disk device file.

    2. Hardware path.
