FIX:
Version 1.3:
On UNIX:
_proinventory [<file-name>] [-e <email-address>] [-f <Plugins file>] [-fathom] [-logfile <list> ]
[-propertyfile <conmgr file>] [-wa [<Apache-Dir>]] | [-wn <Netscape / IPlanet-Dir> [-wnsrv <Server config name>]] ]
On Windows:
_proinventory [<file-name>] [-dynamics] [-e <email-address>] [-fathom] [-logfile <list> [-logprover <Progress Version>]]
[-p <ProgId>] [ -evt <evtloglist> ] [ [-wa [<Apache-Dir>]] | [-wi] | [-wn <Netscape / IPlanet-Dir> [-wnsrv <Server config name>]] ]
WHERE
<file-name>
The name of the archive file to create. The filename will be <archivename>.tar.Z on UNIX, and <archivename>.zip on Windows. If you omit this parameter, the filename will be proinventory.tar.Z for UNIX, and proinventory.zip for Windows.
-dynamics
Log information about a Dynamics installation. This parameter is for Windows only.
-e <e-mail address>
Address to e-mail the archive to. ProInventory will e-mail the archive to the specified e-mail address. If you omit this parameter, ProInventory will not send e-mail.
-fathom
Log information about Fathom installations.
For UNIX, ProInventory will log the Fathom installation that is glued to the Progress installation in $DLC.
For Windows, ProInventory will log all Fathom installations identified in the registry.
-logfile <list>
List of Ubroker and database log files to log. <list> is a comma-separated list of Ubroker instance names (e.g. wsbroker1, NS1, aia1) or ConMgr instance names (the databases configured through the AdminServer). To capture AdminServer logs (admserv.log etc), specify 'admsrv' in <list>. The instance names in the list are not case-sensitive. You must specify a list of Ubroker or ConMgr instance names if you specify -logfile. If an instance name refers to both a Ubroker instance and a Conmgr instance, then ProInventory will capture the Ubroker instance. In such a case, to capture the database log from the ConMgr instance, you must prefix the instance name with 'db:'. For example, proinventory -logfile "db:sports" will cause ProInventory to capture the log related to the "sports" database instance set up through the AdminServer. If a log file is larger than 1MB, ProInventory will capture the last 1MB of the file, and will write a message indicating this at the top of the captured log file. If you omit this parameter, ProInventory will not capture any Ubroker or ConMgr log files.
-logprover <Pro Version>
Identifies which version of Progress to capture Ubroker logs from. Use this parameter in conjunction with the -logfile parameter. This parameter is valid only on Windows, where ProInventory may identify more than one Progress installation within the Registry. ProInventory will capture Ubroker logs from Progress version <Pro Version>. <Pro Version> must be version 9.0 or greater. If you omit this parameter, and ProInventory detects more than one Progress version 9 installation, ProInventory will provide a list of valid versions, and exit. If you provide an invalid version for <Pro Version>, ProInventory will give a list of valid versions, and exit.
-p <ProgId>
Log the full registry settings for the COM object identified by ProgId. You may specify more than one -p parameter . The value of ProgId must be the COM object's name to use when creating the object (using late binding) and is the registry key name under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
For example, the ProgId for the Crescent Spin Control object is CSSPIN.CSSpinCtrl.1.
-evt <evtloglist>
Log information from the Windows Event Logs.
ProInventory generates a text r.epresentation of the information contained in the events in an Event Log. <evtloglist> is a comma-separated list of the values "app", "sec" and/or "sys", corresponding to the Application Event Log, Security Event Log and System Event Log respectively. If the number of events in an Event Log will generate output larger than 1MB, ProInventory logs only the last 1MB of information from these logs. If you omit <evtloglist>, ProInventory will capture all Windows Event Logs (Application, Security and System). If you omit this parameter, ProInventory will not log Windows Event Log information. This parameter is for Windows only.
-wa <Apache-dir>
Log information about the Apache web server installed on this machine. <Apache-dir> specifies the Apache installation directory.
For Windows, <Apache-dir> is optional, unless:
- there is more than one Apache installation on the machine; or
- the installation has only been installed for the current user; or
- the installation was built from source, or from a distribution that does not update the registry.
For Linux, if <Apache-dir> is blank, ProInventory will assume Apache to be installed from a non-relocatable RPM, or built from source, with the configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
For UNIX, <Apache-dir> must be specified.
If you omit this parameter, ProInventory will not log Apache information.
You may specify -wa only once on the command line. To log information about another Apache installation, you must run ProInventory again.
-wi
Log information about the IIS web server installed on this machine. This parameter is for Windows only. You must have Administrator privileges to use -wi with ProInventory, otherwise ProInventory will generate an error and exit. If you omit this parameter, ProInventory will not log IIS information.
-wn <Netscape-dir>
Log information about the Netscape/iPlanet web server installation on this machine. <Netscape-dir> specifies the Netscape/iPlanet installation directory.
For Windows, <Netscape-dir> is optional, unless there is more than one Netscape/iPlanet installation on the machine.
For UNIX, <Netscape-dir> must be specified.
If you omit this parameter, ProInventory will not log Netscape/iPlanet information.
You may specify -wn only once on the command line. To log information about
another Netscape/iPlanet installation, you must run ProInventory again.
-wnsrv <web-server-name>
Identifies a particular web server configured within a Netscape/iPlanet installation. If there are multiple web servers defined within a Netscape/iPlanet installation, -wnsrv identifies the web server to log.<web-server-name> is the name the Netscape Administration Console uses to identify a web server.
If you omit this parameter, and there is only one web server defined in the Netscape/iPlanet installation, ProInventory will log information from this web server, otherwise ProInventory will generate an error asking you to use the -wnsrv parameter, and stop.
You may specify -wnsrv only once on the command line. To log information about another Netscape/iPlanet web server, you must run ProIventory again..
