UNIX SYNOPSIS

syscheck [−u] [−I interace] [−l logfile] [−n] [−o]

DESCRIPTION

This perl script monitors the general state of the computer that it runs on. It uses, where available, vmstat(1), netstat(1), iostat(1) and uptime(1). Output, by default, goes to both STDOUT and to a logfile.

Syscheck requires that the environment variable LDMHOME be set to the directory containing the logs directory which contains the syscheck log file respectively. If this variable is not set syscheck exits.

Output to both STDOUT and/or the log file may be turned off by command line switches.
