Summary: (With thanks to those who provided input)

SUN Explorer : Bertrand HUTIN, Steve Maher, Jed Dobsen, Pierre Demuynck

Syssumm ( http://syssumm.sourceforge.net/ ): Will Robinson, Bill Bendito

Tim Evans Asked "What makes you say this?  I'm running it here on Solaris 8, 
with no problems." refereing to my beleif that Sun's CST does'nt run on 
Solaris versions above 2.6. Which is what was on 
http://sunsolve2.Sun.COM/sunsolve/cst/cst-future.html. This page also 
indicates that the functionality will be built into future versions of 
SunMC, but a) it was'nt free (except for a one system trial) and b) last I 
saw the functionality was'nt included yet. But apperntly I may have been 
looking in the wrong place?

Others gave tips as to writing a script, which I could do, but why reinvent 
the wheel.

Thanks to all who provided input. If I get any late entries I will be sure 
to repost an Updated summary.
