ServDoc / News: Recent posts

Many internal changes, some code cleanup, some new modules
(exim and postgres, more to come) and ServDoc is now easy to
translate.
If there aren't any bugs, there won't be many changes to version 1.0

ServDoc is now multi-lingual.
For now, just English and German are supported.
I'm looking for volunteers to translate to other languages.

ServDoc-0.9 is out.
Now you can document your whole UNIX (Linux, HP/UX, AIX, Solaris, Mac OS/X)-Server with many applications (bind, apache, sendmail, MQSeries) and databases (Oracle und UDB/DB2) with just a single command. Installation isn't necessary, just copy the Self Extracting Perl Archive anywhere on your server and start it.

I wrote a module to describe the objects in a MQSeries Installation. I think the output doesn't look very good, but it is complete.

Today I added a little module for documenting bind servers (DNS)

5min ago, I added the actual version of the Oracle database description module.
It will be part of the nightly build in about 6 hours (I think).

With that module, you can document all relevant information (IMHO) from all your oracle instances on your server without any customization! Try it.

now we document httpd.conf too (and include-files)

There are many improvements since ServDoc-0.7:
- You can ServDoc run without root-rights.
- darwin (Mac OS X) Supported (limited)
- LaTeX output module
- sendmail module
- a lot of minor fixes

There are 2 ServDoc mailing lists available:
- servdoc-announce: I will write announcements there for new Servdoc releases.
- servdoc-users: We can discuss ServDoc problems there

Look at our Project Homepage (http://servdoc.sourceforge.net) to join.

Now we have a LaTeX output module.
Yeah, and you can make pdf from it (if you have latex installed).

Try it with our new "nightly build" downloads at
http://servdoc.sourceforge.net/download

Thanks to James Whitwell! He ported ServDoc to Mac OSX!

We are happy to release our first release of ServDoc.
servdoc-0.7 gives you a nearly complete documentation of your linux-,aix-,hp/ux- and solaris server (hardware and operating system).

Since 2003-01-19 ServDoc supports the 4 big unixes. We're gettling closer and closer to our first official release.

Since today, 14-01-2003, AIX 4.3.2, AIX 4.3.3 and AIX 5.1 are supported by ServDoc
(I think other AIX versions run too, but I haven't tested that)
