The sysadmin script has evolved … into a snake AHHHHHHHH!

The newest version of the Sysadmin helper package is written in python, improving executing time and removing the need in many cases for writing temporary files.

Requirements:

• *nix Operating system (L.A.M.P Server is ideal, this also works on OS X 10.5)
• root / sudoer account on server
• Subversion client on server (for updates)
• Python 2.4 or higher (Should work with Earlier verisions but I have not tested)
  Installation:

  1 2	mkdir ~/.sysadmin svn co http://svn.saiweb.co.uk/branches/linux-the-sysadmin-script/trunk/ ~/.sysadmin/

  Alias setup Linux:

  1 2 3 4

  echo "alias sysadmin='~/.sysadmin/sysadmin.py'" >> ~/.bashrc echo "alias sysadmin-update='svn update ~/.sysadmin'" >> ~/.bashrc alias sysadmin='~/.sysadmin/sysadmin.py' alias sysadmin-update='svn update ~/.sysadmin'

  NOTE: Always backup you config before updating. (~/.sysadmin/conf).

  Now you’re ready to go
