Create Report for the server.

[amdy]

Hi,

Is is possible to create a report which contains every Disk usage status, Exim mail q , and etc and generate it into the excel files monthly.I just wondering is it any scripts or maybe joomla.Kindly advise.

Yes it is possible, and yes I'm certain that people have developed many scripts for this, and you would use cron to trigger the data gathering and reporting scripts at the proper intervals. However, since the information you need is only known by you and/or your organization, then I would strongly suggest that you develop the scripts you need in-house. Most existing such scripts would likely be tailored to the authors' needs such that you would either have trouble using them in your environment, or you would not be able to understand what they are doing and as a result be subject to the Law of Unintended Consequences, or bad LUCk as it were...

I'm sure it can be, but I think that a bash or csh script would probably be more appropriate for this sort of purpose. Are you uncomfortable with bash script programming? There is a forum here for Linux Programming & Scripting to post any specific questions you might have about that.
