Sounds fun sign me up... :0)
Ok taking the file check and ftp example given previously it should be
possible to run the following:
Create shell script on the host machine something like this:
#!/bin/bash
ftp -n crmhost-hemel << end
us <username> <password>
cd <directory>
bin
get $1
bye
end
Call it something like ftpbackup and make executable by running
something like "sudo chmod u+x ftpbackup"
I am working upon assumptions now and going by the *nix screenshots the
authentication mechanisms are already in place so when doing something
like the below from a shell prompt:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "find /home/it/backups -maxdepth 4 -name "*.log" -type f
-execdir ftpbackup {} \;"
You should only need a line asking what remote command to run in this
case:
"find <directory> -maxdepth 4 -name "*.log" -type f -execdir
/home/it/ftpbackup {} \;"
The whole command needs to be enclosed in quotes and the last semicolon
needs to be backslash escaped, I am using openssh on Ubuntu so don't
know if this is different for anyone else.
This command is using find which to my knowledge exists on all *nix
variants though syntax/options may vary. My command is simply looking
for *.log files in the current and up to four directories below which
are identified as files (-type f), followed by executing the ftpbackup
script and passing in the filename ({}). The exec option ensures that
the command is run in the directory in which the file is found. There
is another version -exec which is less secure and less predictable.

I guess something like that is possible.
HOWEVER we would need some coorporation for some users/testers in order
to make this.
A first step would be to try this on our own systems with some
"standard" stuff that should be running on all/most Linux systems (any
tips/hints on commands/outputs we could use for testing?) A 2nd step
would be to test this on "your" systems to see if it can real help/fit.

Hi Dirk,
Considering that the current *nix tests use ssh and their return value
could you customize one of them so that a user could enter a customized
command to run with a check for a return value?
I guess the current limitation would be a single value only, but with a
little tweaking I recon you could test against all returned values e.g.
Custom Command:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "find /home/it/backups -maxdepth 4 -name "*.vmx" -type f
-execdir echo {} \;"
RETURN
Backup-DC1.vmx
Backup-DC2.vmx
TEST FOR
Backup-DC2.vmx
RESULT
Success
This would be very useful to *nix admin as there would be any number of
things you can then look for the shell is your oyster....
Just a thought

Did you ever try the *nix process or *nix diskspace checker towards them
and did that "work"?

Yes. I5/OS V5R3 and V5R4. It is our primary OS.
The answer to your question is sort of. It is not included in the base
operating system however, as of V5R3 you can implement these functions
using 5733-SC1 IBM Portable Utilities for i5/OS.
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/enable/site/porting/tools/openssh.html
The number of systems using PASE and Portable utilities is unknown but
should be growing at a decent rate. PASE is how servers like Zend PHP
are utilized.

We would like to know if some of you are "still" using AS/400 systems
and if so what OS is running on them and IF this OS has an SSH server.
You can OR answer via the listserver or directly to us.
