Thanks for the responses I received on this question/suggestion. First of all, I want to shoot down the concept of using expect with ssh - I had used this as a quick and dirty way to check the date command over multiple systems after the DST changes earlier in the year, and started doing metastat checks from my desktop with a similar method. We normally never do that. ssh public keys are the way to go for any scripted commands from the ssh family. Someone emailed me a copy of metacheck - a script name I find both on open source and from Sun, although the one I was emailed was from Sun. It seems the best. The solution I was looking for is documented at Sun. Here one can find information on using mdmonitord for Solaris 10. The Sun resource also lists a copy of the Sun metacheck script which can be set up nicely to email from each host doing the check if Solaris is 9 and under. Some people suggested SNMP for monitoring, and that is mentioned at this Sun Volume Manager Admin Guide as well: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4520/tasks-snmp-1?a=view I will ditch the ssh + remote command concept and implement Sun's metacheck on older Solaris boxes as this is the most thorough solution. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Dec 20 11:02:15 2007
