Admin Tools

Below I've collected some links and scripts that are handy on AIX systems.

logtail.pl
- From Debian's Logcheck package. It is a PERL reimplementation of Logcheck's logtail.c. Logtail can be run repeatedly against a log file, and logtail will only display lines added since the last run of logtail. The output can be redirected or processed as needed. ( Fixed link. )
setpwd.aix.c
- This program allows the superuser to update a user's password from the command line. Previously used in a 1500 user migration and in daily use in a helpdesk resetting user passwords.
