Hello geeks,

I would like to collect all the important data of my red Hat Linux 4.0 AS server in a single command.Any available tool is readily available??

For example I would like to get a consolidated output which should include the information about my server like the follwoing

1.Disk space info.
2.Sendmail config info
3.printers connected
4.System info etc

I am a user of Solaris,in which a tool called "Explorer " will give out a good info about the whole system which will be very useful for troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance,

with regards,
nataraj

well you would start by defining what "important data" means... that's incredibly vague.

Howzit

Write your own script which will give the output u looking for

cheers

well disk space info is "df -h"

what IS sendmail config info?? the static sendmail.mc file?

Printers connected. what kind of connected? you can check what printers cups has tools like lpstat to show status there

system info etc... ahh again... back to total vagueness.

redhat-support-check

Maybe I should have clarified my answer.

On my CentOS 3.7 box, which is based on the RedHat EL products, redhat-support-check records all settings from you PC and dumps it to a bzip file to send to RedHat support. It'll tell you where the files is saved when it's done.

I havent opened it, but assume you could just extract and it would tell you everything about your setup.
