Full Discussion: Parsing a log file and creating a report script
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Parsing a log file and creating a report script Post 303001933 by bakunin on Tuesday 15th of August 2017 04:34:29 AM
Old 08-15-2017
This is a very old system (if i had to guess i'd say 15+ years) and i am astonished that it even runs AIX 5.3. My old 43P won't run anything newer than 5.2. SSA (IBMs idea of obsoleting SCSI) went out of fashion about the turn of the century. (Btw.: i don't know the "9026-P70" in your source report but the "7026-H70" from your sample output. Might it be that your cut&paste didn't work well?)

AS it seems this an output from either the lscfg -vp command or from prtconf (not sure if this was already present in 5.3). Wouldn't it be easier - instead of parsing this output - to use the lsdev and lsattr commands to get exactly the specifications you want to know about every individual device?

For this, of course, one would need to know what exactly you want to see in your report. Right now this is only vaguely defined.

I hope this helps.

lsdev

LSDEV(8)							Linux System Manual							  LSDEV(8)

NAME

       lsdev - display information about installed hardware

SYNOPSIS

       lsdev

DESCRIPTION

       lsdev  gathers information about your computer's installed hardware from the interrupts, ioports and dma files in the /proc directory, thus
       giving you a quick overview of which hardware uses what I/O addresses and what IRQ and DMA channels.

OPTIONS

       None.

FILES

       /proc/interrupts
	      IRQ channels.

       /proc/ioports
	      I/O memory addresses.

       /proc/dma
	      DMA channels.

BUGS

       lsdev can't always figure out which lines in the three examined files refer to one and the same device, because these files  sometimes  use
       different  names  for the same piece of hardware. For example, in some kernels the keyboard is referred to as `kbd' in /proc/ioports and as
       `keyboard' in /proc/interrupts.	This should be fixed in the kernel, not in lsdev (as has indeed happened for this particular example).

       The program does however try to match lines by stripping anything after a space or open	parenthesis  from  the	name,  so  that  e.g.  the
       `serial'  lines	from /proc/interrupts match the `serial(set)' lines from /proc/ioports.  This attempt at DWIM might be considered a bug in
       itself.

       This program only shows the kernel's idea of what hardware is present, not what's actually physically available.
