hardware monitoring on unix servers (Sun and Bull AIX)

Hello,

I was given the task to write a shell script that must detect hardware problems on Unix Solaris and AIX servers. Problems that should be detected by this script are for example: abnormally high temperature or voltage etc...
So, does anyone know if that kind of information is logged in a system file, what its name is and where it is located? Or are there any system commands that can give me such information?
Any help would be very welcome
Thanks in advance

Hi,

For Sun machines, you have the prtdiag ( man prtdiag ) utility... run it with -v and it will tell you if there're any problem with the hardware... On AIX, you have diag command ( man diag ).

You may also see Sun VTS ( http://www.sun.com/oem/products/vts/ ), and Tivoli ( http://www-3.ibm.com/software/tivoli/ ) .

Also, take a look at swatch ( http://swatch.sourceforge.net/ ) .

Good luck !
