Hi all,
I am working on a perl script that collects system config info from Digital
Unix, Solaris and HPUX systems. This script scans several DNS address spaces to
determine which hosts may be Unix boxes (uses a pattern match on the hostname),
and then for each host, uses the rexec system call to login to the unix system,
identify the OS type, and then collect the relevant info.
Using uerf/dec event/messages file is not 100% reliable for gathering info, as
is the preserved message buffer in the kernel. What I am after is finding out
all the symbols defined in the kernel, and interogating these symbols to gather
the info I am interested in. For example the kernel symbol physmem tells you how
much memory the system has. Does anyone know how to list all the symbols, and
secondly where I can find info on the various symbols. Maybe someone knows where
there is a resource on the internet on debugging the Digital Unix kernel. I have
looked at the kernel debugger manual, which has limited usefulness.
Many thanks in advance
Alastair Munro
