HP Servers running HP-UX - getsysinfo.sh 9.22 data collection script readme and FAQ

How to transfer data via ASCII terminal applications with cut&paste ?
getsysinfo.sh can be transferred via cut&paste to the target server via a terminal application (like
putty). No line is longer than 80 chars.
cat > /tmp/getsysinfo.sh
#then paste the script into your terminal application
CTRL-D
You can use the “-u” option to transfer the result back to you PC.
ksh /tmp/getsysinfo.sh -u
#now start logging to a file on your terminal application
cat /tmp/sysinfo.uu
#stop logging
You can then unpack the file on a Unix Server by deleting everything before “begin” with
uudecode logfile
and you have a gzipped tar archive that can be unpacked with WinZIP or gunzip and tar.
Can I run the script regularly from cron ?
This is not recommended.
Although the script is not known to cause problems, it was not written for collecting configuration
data but to troubleshoot hardware problems. A lot of commands are used which directly interact
with internal and external hardware, LVM and other system resources which may cause strange
logs in syslog.log or device logs if running too often.
