Getting information from other HPUX machines

[womp]

Hello,

I need to obtain free disk space information from other HPUX machines and report to the boss. I was hoping to write a script to do this but I was hoping I did not need to use rexec among other type of unsecure commands.

Is there a way, a script, can login into another system, do a bdf command then transfer that information back to my linux box where I can write out the rest of the script?

womp,

An option would be to set up a cron on the systems you need to collect the information from and then ftp the output to the system where you need to have your report created.

I know that it is not elegant as far as solutions go but it will get the job done if you are able to create the cron entries on the systems in question.

HTH,

Steve

Perhaps Expect would be a possibility?

Do you have SSH installed? That should do it fine if you set up private/public key pairs for passwordless login.
