System Administration Scripts

System Administration Scripts

/skunkware/osr5/sysadmin/johnd/VOLS.tar

Interpreted programs, mostly ksh and gawk scripts. These were written for SCO XENIX and SCO UNIX by John Dubois (johnd@sco.com). Most should be portable to other flavors of UNIX without too much trouble. If you don't have ksh for the #!/bin/ksh scripts, try pd-ksh, bash, or zsh. For the gawk scripts, use version 2.15.5 or later.
You may wish to browse the scripts directory or download individual scripts below.
