Title: zlister
Version: 1.5
Entered-date: 08JUL96 @ 19:10 EDT
Description: New version which significantly improves the process of
removing records pertainiing to NFS mounts. zlister is a
combination of csh and awk scripts designed to manage the
collection, compression, differentiation and storage of
complete filesystem listings. It is a time-saving user tool
for quickly locating files in the filesystem. It is also an
administrative support tool that will identify changes to
any file in the filesystem. When executed on a frequent
basis (i.e. daily), the resulting .diff output can provide
invaluable clues to system/security administrative personnel
as to EVERY file which changes on the system listed. In
conjunction with frequent (daily) system
backups, the potential for any form of data loss can be
significantly reduced. This is an ideal product to execute
on newly built and/or rebuilt production servers to
get/establish/document the baseline of the complete
filesystem. Subsequent runs will highlight differences.
Especially beneficial to be ran after a filesystem check
(fsck) has been run and significant errors were
reported/corrected. This is a good utility for tracking
historically changes made to the server. Copious
documentation and installation instructions are provided in
the primary 'zlister' script. These scripts were designed to
execute, without modification, on Solaris (V: 2.3, 2.4 and
2.5), HP-UX (V: 9.0.01 - 10.0) and under all versions of Linux
(V: 1.1.59+).
I'm very interested in feedback from implementator(s) on
other *NIX platforms. What else would you like to see?
