'up2date -i sysreport' :-)

It's pretty trivial to automate with a simple expect script (although, be
aware that the filename and interactive output that it produces changed
from RHEL3 to RHEL4, and I haven't looked at it with RHEL5 yet). It might
collect more information than you want, but it definitely covers the bases
you mentioned.

Hi.


We have deviced a disaster recovery plan for recovering our Red Hat
Enteprise Linux servers using NetWorker. What we are in need of now is a
way
to collect necessary system information from our backed up servers. Such
information would typically include partitions, LVM, filesystem label, and
so forth. The information will have to be collected on a regular basis to
cope with possible changes.

Does such a script already exist, or must we make it ourselves?

Regards,

kenneho
