need help about system status report script!!!
hi
i m new to this forum as well as UNIX. I've got an assignment but i don't know how can I start it.
can anyone please help to tell me how can I start it?
I added here few lines from my assignment.
In industry, it is common for a single organisation to provide technical support for a substantial number of UNIX systems distributed across a large geographical area and a number of different companies. This type of support has many complications, one problem is that the company offering support may not have current information on how the UNIX based computers are being used and how they are configured.
A common approach to this problem is for each UNIX machine to contain a shell script that when executed produces a report (a text file) on the current configuration and usage of the machine. This report can then be sent to the organisation responsible for technical support.
In this assignment you are required to write such a script, suitable for use on a Linux (Fedora 5) machine.
When the “system status report” script is invoked the user should be presented with a menu. This will provide a list of options allowing the user to decide what the report should contain. The resultant text file report can be e-mailed or faxed to the technical support team.
I can't understand how can I email or fax this report to technical suppot team and also how can I produce a text report?
please I need all of ur help and I m requesting all of u to help me.
Thank you all
Moco

octave-bug
octave-bug(1) General Commands Manual octave-bug(1)
NAME
octave-bug - report a bug in GNU Octave
SYNOPSIS
octave-bug [-s subject]
DESCRIPTION
octave-bug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports concerning Octave in a standard format. octave-bug is typically
invoked by the Octave command bug_report which is intended to be called interactively from within Octave. This provides the best way to
submit a bug report for Octave. It creates a template bug report file and starts an editor on that file. The bug report will be sent to
the bug-octave mailing list once the editing has been completed (this assumes of course that your system can use email). However, the user
could also call octave-bug outside of Octave.
Please read the `Bugs' chapter in the Octave manual to find out how to submit a bug report that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix
the problem. If you are unable to use the bug_report command, send your message to the bug-octave mailing list, bug-
octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu.
OPTIONS
-s subject
Specify a subject line for the bug report. Spaces in the subject must be quoted.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
octave-bug uses the environment variables USER, EDITOR, and PAGER which can be used for customization.
VERSION
This document was last revised for Octave version 2.0.16.
