Piotr, Two possibilities: 1) For inventory purposes, you can run the official AMT tool for Unix machines. https://amt.web.lucent.com/unix/ I believe this tool will without modification on Linux machines. 2) For software updates, I recomment "autoupdate." This package is available from exptools at http://exptools.web.lucent.com/cgi-bin/get_package/ilinux/autoupdate.tar.gz When this package is installed, you can run the "autodld" command. It will check all the RPM files on your machine and compare them with the versions on our RedHat mirror at ftp.hobl.lucent.com. If there are new versions available, they will be downloaded and installed There other tools similar to autoupdate (yum, apt-rpm, autrpm, etc.). Autoupdate is the one I happen to be familiar with, and it works pretty well. -- Peter Fales Lucent Technologies, Room 1C-436 N9IYJ 2000 N Naperville Rd PO Box 3033 internet: psfales@xxxxxxxxxx Naperville, IL 60566-7033 work: (630) 979-8031 On Fri, Nov 07, 2003 at 02:02:32PM -0500, Wolak, Piotr wrote: > Hello, > > I am looking for something similar to Windows SMS (hardware, packages > inventory) for my RedHat (8-9) installations.
