In SUN Solaris system we have explorer to collect all system configuration and information, in HP-UX we will be using nickel.
Follow the instruction below to successfully run nickel and collect all your system configuration and information in HP-UX
1. Transfer the nickel.shar file to /tmp directory.
2. Run the following command.
| # sh nickel.shar mkdir - /opt/contrib mkdir - /opt/contrib/bin x - /opt/contrib/bin/nickel [compressed] mkdir - /opt/contrib/man mkdir - /opt/contrib/man/man1m x - /opt/contrib/man/man1m/nickel.1m [compressed] |
| # cd /opt/contrib./bin # chmod 555 nickel #./nickel |
A file: nickel.yourhostname.tar.gz will be created under /opt/contrib/bin
FTP in “BINARY” mode, nickel.yourhostname.tar.gz to PC ”ASCII” mode will corrupt the .tar.gz file)
View your nickel information with your favorite browser.
