it aint PHP ... but I've just fall in love with this: http://www.capify.org/ which won't help if any of the servers in question are windows boxes unless you can install cygwin on there (I'm guessing that would allow it to work). although from reading your post I gather you have to perform the task *from* a windows boxes on on a windows box and that shouldn't be a problem Miguel Guirao schreef:
Hello fellow members of this list, There is a couple of rutinary tasks that our servers (different platforms) perform during the night. Early during the day, we have to check that every task was performed correctly and without errors. Actually, we do this by hand, going first to server A (AIX platform), and verifying that the error logs files have a size of zero (0), which means that there were no errors to report on the logs, verify that some files have been written to a specific directory and so on. As I told you before, this is done by hand, many ls commands, grep’s and more’s here and there!! On the other hand, I have to do this on a another Windows 2003 server!! So, I’m thinking on creating a web page on PHP that performs all this tasks for me, and my fellow co-workers. But, all my experience with PHP is about working with data on MySQL server, wrting files to a harddisk, sending e-mails with or without attachments and so on. Is PHP a correct approach to solve this tedious problem?? Can I access a servers and get the results of a ls command for instance??
