We don't run have Gnome or GTK (or usually even X) installed on our
servers. Plus, we run SCO OSR5 as well, which may or may not have a Gnome
port. I was hoping for a very nice console based tool. As I mentioned in
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I already have a script (shown below) that does some of
what I need. However, I was hoping for something that already had a
built-in log query tool, and maybe would allow me to log all events across
servers to one central database. Time to start coding apparently.
#!/bin/sh
USERNAME=$1
COMMENT=$2
DATE=`date '+%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S'`
FILE=/var/log/event.log
if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo "bad arguments"
echo "usage: log.event username log-entry"
exit
fi
awk -F : '{print $1}' /etc/passwd | grep --silent \^$USERNAME\$
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "you did not supply a proper username"
exit
fi
echo "$DATE $USERNAME $COMMENT" >> $FILE
Regards, Dustin
