DSTIVP tool

INTRODUCTION:

HP has developed scripts to assess the readiness of Linux©, HP-UX and HP Tru64 (v5.0 or later) systems for U.S. 2007 Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes, including changes adapted by Canada.  The unsupported scripts evaluate different aspects of a system HP has found to be areas that may require changes.  The scripts report if a DST ready patch has been installed for the OS, Java© and HP-UX aC++.

The unsupported scripts perform a simple system assessment; They do not ready a system for the U.S. 2007 Daylight Saving Time changes.

WHAT IT DOES:

The Script, dstivp.sh . searches the file system from root (except NFS mounted directory) for the following:

• Linux, HP-UX and HP Tru64 OS readiness (via a small C application - compile/run
• HP-UX aC++ image inventory
• Java inventory
• Test all Java versions and give recommendations
• Summary report
   

JAVA DETAILS:

This script uses the following rules to test any Java version to confirm this is a valid Java directory:

• <jre tree>/bin/java
• <jre tree>/lib (Must be a directory)
• <jre tree)/lib/rtjar.jar
• <jre tree>/bin/java -version (must return a valid version )

Note: Any Java not found with this directory tree structure will not be tested (or reported).  For example GCJ - GNU Compiler for the Java will not be tested

HP-UX aC++ DETAILS:

For systems running HP-UX, the script reports a list of applications that may have aC++ issues along with a list of stripped binaries. This list is generated from directories except NFS and HP-UX supplied such as /usr/lib etc. Also included is a script to generate a similar aC++ and stripped binary list from a list of up to five directories.  (See http://www.hp.com/go/c++  for my information as to why this list maybe important)
