looking for good things to add to a bash script for redhat 5 to tell us all we need to know about a box
I work in a closed network and we can not just add software to the boxes. I can however add a bash script.
We need to store network information for all reasons, rebuild, move, desaster recovery etc.
Can anybody suggest commands they like that work on redhat 5 that are not on the list ?/

#! /bin/bash
hostname=${HOSTNAME}
output=output.txt
#########
# The purpose of this function it to recive a shell command string (SS)
# Echo a begin marker with hostname and (SS)
# Echo the results of (SS)
# Echo a end marker just like the start marker
# except the begin marker has "b" and the end has "e"
#
#########
# clear out old output.txt
echo > ${output}
function doo(){
echo "tqf####~"$hostname"~${1}~b~####" >> ${output}
echo >> ${output}
${1} >> ${output}
echo >> ${output}
echo "tqf####~"$hostname"~${1}~e~####" >> ${output}
echo >> ${output}
}
## note all commands commented out were try and did not work on REDHAT 5.5.
## most of the commented out commands are likely for solaris or software I do not have on my redhat 5.5 system

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Looks like you are going for a *lot* of information there. I guess you need as much as you can for DR purposes, so I won't question what you will or won't need. But, if you do have a question about info that may be superfluous, please ask. (like cat /etc/services)
Some of the ones I use a lot and don't see there:
lsmod = shows loaded kernel modules (helpful with hardware drivers)
lspci = shows PCI devices (also helpful w/ hardware)
cat /proc/meminfo = memory info
netstat -nr = configured IP routes
I noticed that some lines may be redundant:
Line 91,92: ls will only list the current directory you are in (or running the script from)
Line 101-103: You get all you need with uname -a
Hope this helps!
