From the information provided, it sounds like STAF is the right tool for=20
you.=20

In regards to "How can I manager and monitor those scripts from a=20
centralized machine?", check out the STAX service which allows you to=20
control the execution of STAF commands to remote machines (in sequence,=20
parallel, any combination there of), etc. and the STAX Job Monitor which=20
allows you to monitor the job.

[staf-users] infrastructure testing (initially)






Hi,

I am new to STAF. I?m trying to determine where STAF can be implemented=20
and used in a specific environment. The environment is rather large with=20
many client and server machines ranging from Windows PC?s to Linux &=20
midrange servers and possibly mainframes.

The *first* goal/application that I want to implement is to verify and=20
monitor the infrastructure of the LAN/WAN. IOW if any hardware servers=20
or routers have be changed or updated, I want to verify that all=20
machines are still visible and accessible as they were meant to be prior=20
to the installation. It would be relatively simple to define a script on=20
each machine to ping a list of predefined targets and possibly query=20
some OS variables and files. Once that is in place I would like to=20
extend the testing harness to verify software installation and possibly=20
application functionality.

<>Two questions:
Is STAF the right tools for the job?
How can I manage and monitor those scripts from a centralized machine?

Many thanks in advance.
Tertius
