[SunHELP] system health

[David Baldwin]

Thanks for all the responses.
I had some ideas but I wanted to make sure.
Like you say, "It's unix, after all."  So I figure, I could pull my hair
out day in and day out just checking random things or, "Hey, this
command that I never heard of does all that for me!"
I'm sure you know what I mean.

Thanks again

Dave Baldwin

If the hardware is working, it's working- I'm not familiar with any low=20
level diagnostic tools that you can run without disrupting service.
Disks=20
should be mirrored or bad things will happen. Filesystem and services-=20
well. It's unix, after all. :)

check logs, search for core files, see what's running and why, check=20
ports, get some general keepitclean scripts and test them somewhere
else.=20
Check your OS update levels. And find out what happens and why if a box=20
does go down. If it's that big a deal, then there needs to be an HA=20
setup.
