Yes - how about vi?

Seriously: without knowing any details it is hard to suggest anything.

Your question is like "i want to buy the best car - please advise": without knowing where you want to go with it (autobahn, offroad, racing track), how much cargo you have to transport (none, some trunks max, tons of it), where you want to go (in middle europe or the front line in Iraq), etc. this could be anything from a Ferrari, a Land Rover, an articulated lorry to a M-1 battle tank.

To paraphrase "Pill" Dr. McCoy: we are system administrators, not psychics. That makes us highly efficient information-processing devices. Put much in to get much out. Put little in and you get little out. Guess what you get when you put bullshit into this system.

I hope this helps (to enlighten you about our modus operandi).

bartus11 I will take a look thanks

With AIX there is prtconf in /usr/sbin it is a shell script and if there is info you want other than what is produces you could add or change it. But don't change the original. Make a copy and change as needed. The prtconf is used by the OS at time(s) and expects some info to feed other scripts.

Documenting what ? You can build a script which will capture some important data, which is then saved as a html formatted file and scp'd to your web directory.

One could use monitoring software like nagios or solarwinds. Nessus for security assessments etc.

Perhaps you could enlighten everyone here with an idea of what kind of information you are attempting to assimilate ?
