# $Id: README.FEDEX,v 1.5 2007/08/16 14:55:10 ksb Exp $ Collect data - mailed to a special address (netlint@netlint.sac.fedex.com) that gets sent to netlint-update, which will update the host report in /var/netlint - record the current stats; keep a database of the current update and one update into the past (so we can see what's changed) Differences to report - generate a report to post to news with diffs - raw diffs; 'diff -u hostname.old hostname' (or report if we have no old reports) - generate a general status report to put on the web: - _all_ current errors - _all_ current interfaces (with links to peg maybe?) - hosts we didn't receive mail from (down? broken mailer config?) Crontab should run sometime between 0200-0300 on monday morning (varied so netlint.sac doesn't get bombarded with mail). At 0600, generate reports. monitor's crontab: M=`jot -r 1 0 59` $M 2 * * 1 /usr/local/libexec/netlint | mail -s "NETLINT: `/bin/hostname`" netlint@netlint.sac.fedex.com (note: "mail" should be "mailx" on Solaris & HP-UX 11) (it may run as "nobody" from /etc/crontab on FreeBSD)
