Not sure if this info is still desired, but I have just finished an auto sftp script.
All servers run a script to backup files, then this script runs to gather all the output files and centralize.
ssh keys must be set up and working for script to work. hope it helps.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

HOSTS="svr1 svr2 svr3 svr4 svr5"
DATE=`date '+%m%d%y.%H%M'`
LOG=/usr/local/scripts/xfer_failed

export HOSTS DATE LOG

### Main ###

if [ -f $LOG ];
 then mv $LOG $LOG.$DATE
 touch $LOG
 else touch $LOG
fi
#
for each in $HOSTS;
do
  if [ ! -d /usr/restore/$each ];
    then mkdir /usr/restore/$each
  fi
cd /usr/restore/$each
find . -type f -name "$each*.tar*" -mtime +14 -exec rm {} \;
#
sftp -b - $each << EOF
get /root/restore/$each.tar $each.$DATE.tar
bye
EOF
  if [ $? -ne 0 ];
    then echo "File transfer for $each failed. $DATE" >> $LOG
    cat $LOG | mailx -s "Vitalfile transfer failure" xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com
    else continue
  fi
done

find /usr/local/scripts -type f -name "xfer_failed.*" -mtime +4 -exec rm {} \;

### End Main ###

procmeter3-log

PROCMETER3-LOG(1)					      General Commands Manual						 PROCMETER3-LOG(1)

NAME

       procmeter3-log - A system monitoring / logging program.

SYNOPSIS

       procmeter3-log [-h|--help] [--rc=<filename>] [--...]  [...]

DESCRIPTION

       ProcMeter  Displays one or more pieces of information about the operating system and other resources.  Most of the information that is dis-
       played comes from the /proc filesystem.	The program is modular and very configurable.

OPTIONS

       The command line options are described below.

       -h     Provides a help message listing the available outputs.  This will be different for different computers depending on the Linux kernel
	      version that is being used and the hardware/software that is configured.

       --rc=<filename>
	      Load the specified .procmeterrc file in stead of the searching in the usual places.

       --...  A  list  of  configuration file options that will override the values in the .procmeterrc file.  The format of these options is (for
	      example) --library.path=/usr/local/procmeter3 which is equivalent to the entry in the .procmeterrc file of

	       [library]
	       path = /usr/local/procmeter3

	      All spaces around the equal sign must be removed and if spaces are required in the value on the right hand side then quotes must	be
	      used around the entire command line option.

       ...    A  list  of  names of outputs that are to be displayed.  This can include any of the outputs that are available (see the -h option).
	      For the CPU usage is in a module named Statistics with an output named CPU and there are graph (-g), text (-t) and bar (-b) options.
	      Since this version of the program does not display anything, but logs the data to a file it does not matter which one is chosen.	To
	      store the CPU usage data you would use the command line option Statistics.CPU-t

USAGE

       When started the program will log all of the requested information on the standard output (stdout).  The outputs  that  are  displayed  are
       those from the command line and those from the .procmeterrc configuration file.

MODULES

       The modules that are available for procmeter3-log are described in the procmeter3_modules(1) manual page.
