Scripting for automation

Hi,

I would like to know about a automated script which would collect data on a regular day to day basis at a particular time and stores it in a defined path for business analysis.

Any help on this is highly appreciable!!

Thanks
Sara

Hi,

This is the souce data from unix box to get the cpu,disk and other system statistics. It is carried on in a daily basis retrieval so would like to have a automated scheduling process,(script) which collects the data basically on a day to day basis at a given time.

Thanks

Hi.

I think you need to be a bit more specific yet.

Which "unix" (OS, and version)?.

What "other system statistics" (there's countless dozens of things you could monitor, and many ways in which those themselves could be "monitored" / analysed)?

Hi Scott,

Its AIX box.(v5.x) and we have Nigel's monitor for system monitor. As far as right now the data is colllected basically on a day to day basis and it is analyzed manually. I would like a automated script which collects say for 15 days at a certain time rather than making it manual.

I've always just called it NMON Smilie

You analyse NMON output manually? As in reading its output manually? Eeks.

Or you use RRD (NMON has an option to generate RRD commands directly)?

Hi,

Currently the data we get is on a daily basis in a specified location and then we just have to put in the analyzer and get the result.

Im looking for a script which can collect the data for 10 days automatically at a given time without any user inervention.
And wondering if there is any way we can target that report to a shared location automaticlly so the users could have a look without manual operations?

Thanks!!!
