            <pubDate>2010-01-14</pubDate>
            <description>Sometimes a shell script needs a really good (or large) random number -- something better than what the $RANDOM variable in ksh can provide.  

This script uses the failry new /dev/urandom device in Solaris to generate such a number.</description>

of java processes currently running on a machine.

Puts the output in to a tar file for collection.</description>

            <pubDate>2010-01-08</pubDate>
            <description>Script which collects ILOM data using ipmitool.

ipmitool is a utility for controlling IPMI-enabled devices.

ILOM supports the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), which enables you to use a command-line interface to monitor and control your server platform, as well as to retrieve information about your server platform.</description>

            <description>(This is a tar file download: ora_autostart22.tar)

This script package is written for Oracle services autostart activation and deactivation in one step on next systems:

- Solaris 8,9
- Solaris 10 and above
- Linux (RHEL3, RHEL4, RHEL5, SuSE, Fedora, 
         Oracle Enterprise Linux/Oracle Unbreakable Linux)

Autostart works with Oracle services:
- Oracle RDBMS
- Oracle ASM
- Oracle TNS Listener
- Oracle DB Console (OEM)
- Oracle iSQL*Plus
- Oracle HTTP Server (OHS/Apache)

Also autostart supported for many RDBMS/ASM services from single oratab file.</description>

            <pubDate>2010-01-05</pubDate>
            <description>Ramdisk   SMF   service  developed  for  boot  time  Solaris 10  RAM-disks creation. Service supports unlimited RAM-disks
(limited only with total RAM amount) with several types:

a)  RAM-disks  without  any filesystem  (raw). For use with hi-speed devices, for example, ZFS ARC or ZFS ZIL.

b)  RAM-disks  with  UFS  file system, automatically mounted on specified mountpoints.

c)  RAM-disks with ZFS, automatically mounted as ZFS storage pools.

Note,  that  system can be configured several RAM-disks with
different types.

Also  supported  autobackup  RAM-disks contents to hard disk and  automatically  load RAM-disks from backups when service starts.

Service  is  completely  configurable  through  config  file (ram.conf) which placed in /etc during service installation.</description>

all derivatives in one step on next systems:

- Solaris 8,9
- Solaris 10 and above
- Linux (RHEL3/4/5, SuSE, Fedora, Oracle Enterprise Linux)

Platform recognition is automatic. Autostart can be done for
single-machine  installation,  or  for  enterprise  (two and
above  servers)  installations.  Supports  starting WebCache
on   ports   80/443.   Also  standalone  WebCache  autostart
supported.Beginning    from    this    version,   autostart   supports
infrastructure  RDBMS  on ASM. Startup and shutdown executes
in right sequence.</description>

            <description>Reports/Restore shell scripts collection is designed to simplify the writing of analyzers output programs, tracking modifications of regular files, checking the immutability of symbolic links and the availability of catalogs (including changes in access rights to these files/links/directories using the preservation of their attributes in a separate file), as well as to restore the last when necessary.

Documentation is in Russian - with a roughly english translation included.</description>

            <description>shmux is program for executing the same command on many hosts in parallel. 

For each target, a child process is spawned by shmux, and a shell on the target obtained one of the supported methods: rsh, ssh, or sh. 

The output produced by the children is received by shmux and either output in turn to the user, or written to files for later processing.</description>

            <description>This script runs from the GZ and uses bart to check the integrity of zones. You may run it once a day or once an hour for instance. 

One concern of the script was to reduce the cpu cycles needed in order to allow frequent runs (at least for sparse model zones).</description>

            <description>This script can run regularly from the crontab (every 15 minutes, and/or every hour, and/or every day) to analyze the log files of Solaris, or any application, and to report by Email any suspect line.

As we don't know in advance all possible log messages, we will consider a line as suspect if it is not matched by a list of regular expressions. These expressions must be added in a file by the user for lines that are known to be less important.

This file is populated little by little by the user to reduce the number of messages (Emails) received.</description>
