Hi,
I put out a mail note asking about management tools, what I was hoping
for was some scripts that gathered info from any number of workstations,
perhaps mailed off warnings about disks filling up, level of network
traffic, machines not being contactable, whatever. In my note I wasn't
specific about what I was looking for, because I seem to remember
getting something that talked about a set of scripts and I thought I had
received it via this group. Some how my filing system failed and when I
came to look up the reference that I'd received I couldn't point my
computer at it.
As a result of the query I got the following replies, the one relating
to unicentre seems to come closest to what I think the original message
from the net was all about. I haven't had a chance to look at what is
available but there seems to be the basis for something among the
references.
(a) Kurt Carlson, University of Alaska SOIS/TS suggested
http://www.digital.com/info/misc/pub-domain-osf1.txt.html
as well as something from UA
ftp:/raven.alaska.edu:/pub/sois/UA_DUtools
(b) Ruben Azzopardi Senior Systems Engineer suggested
http://www.megabyte.net
(c) Marty Horowitz System Management mah_at_unx.dec.com suggested
DU already had a number of management tools and that he was willing to
reply to specific queries.
(d) Paul Henderson email: henderson_at_unx.dec.com
suggested
a similar thing to Marty
(e) Karl Marble mailto:marblek_at_ci.worcester.ma.us suggested
that once upon a time there was something DEC had as part of the
polycenter suite which it flogged to CA, who now have a product called
UniCenter, see
http://www.cai.com/
(d) Sheryl A. Campbell from Lebanon Valley College suggested
that the original article I had seen was in relation to UniCenter and
that it had come from DEC not this mailing group. Anyway the following
is how to get UniCenter -
> ftp atlanta.service.digital.com (ip address:192.208.34.1)
>
> login using "anonymous"
> password is your "login id" (e-mail address or company name)
>
> At the "ftp>" prompt:
>
> ftp> cd pub/tools
> ftp> hash
> ftp> get unicensus.tar.Z
>
> Note: you will not be allowed any other command in the pub/tools
> directory except "get", typing "ls" or any other command will
> immediately log the user out.
Well thanks for that.
