I am looking for a way to automate the documentation of a hand full of Linux/Windows servers. Ideally, I would like to find a script that can be run on either platform that will produce a consistent report that includes such information as: -network settings -installed software -hardware specs -etc. I stumbled upon this script that appears to be exactly what I need. http://sydi.sourceforge.net/ After a quick test run, it became apparent that Linux support was minimal. The utility produces a very useful report for Windows systems, but gives little more than an enumeration of the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files on Linux systems. I realize that it may be unrealistic to expect to find a good tool that will produce consistent results for Windows and Linux systems. What are PLUG users using to document their Linux servers for disaster recovery purposes?
