One of the benefits of SunLink Server software is the availability of the inherent scripting features provided by the Solaris operating system. Combining these features with the data-gathering tools provided by SunLink Server software, an administrator can create a powerful tool that can be used to assess the health of a SunLink Server system at any given time.
For example, using the Solaris system job scheduling feature (CRON), various data-gathering tools provided by SunLink Server, and some of the standard Solaris system commands for checking file system integrity and free space, administrators can write scripts that perform various system and server checks and then send the results to Solaris system administrators at regular intervals.
