UNISOL SysAdmin
UNISOL SysAdmin is an integrated system administration software package which aids in maintaining a consistent and secure UNIX environment. SysAdmin provides a secure menu interface (for both curses and X Windows environments) to privileged commands, allowing delegation of everyday system administration tasks to operators and other general administrative personnel, without compromising system integrity.
SysAdmin is available as a base package for the management of a single machine, with several optional modulesavailable for the management of additional systems and enhanced functionality.
Features of SysAdmin include:
- User account management including an optional domain-based distributed account management module, with multi-level administrative domains while local control is retained at each administrative domain. Client-server architecture provides "immediate" updates over the network, while a queueing mechanism gracefully handles downed machines and networks.
- Resource management, including: printer and spooler setup and management, terminal management (for enabling and disabling terminals for login) and device configuration. UUCP configuration for the definition of systems, filesystem maintenance (including the creation, checking and counting of filesystems) and, system and resource utilization reporting using standard UNIX accounting facilities.
- An optional performance-monitoring module collects system activity and reports system performance for specific resources in both tabular and graphical form.
- An optional network management module allows the configuration and monitoring of all hosts within the local area network from a central location. NFS management allows the setup, configuration and administration of NFS mounted filesystems and exported filesystems, while NIS management configures the NIS databases within a local area network. Remote system management allows the installation and updating of any software package (or other managed module) within the local area network.
- Two types of backup software are also available. SysAdmin includes a standard backup module suitable for small installations, which is capable of multivolume, multilevel backup and restore of files and filesystems and dump log maintenance with remote tape and generic/remote/special file system support. UNISOL BART is also optionally available for larger installations seeking an automated unattended network backup solution.
- Tape manipulation commands including reading/writing/copying of tar/cpio/foreign tapes.
- System security via automatic monitoring and correction of common security holes. Restrict command execution by user id, group id, or date and time.
- Process management; file and directory management, cron management for the scheduling of standard system maintenance tasks, system shutdown, message broadcasting; electronic mail.
- Automatic or user-controlled archival and restoration of files.
- User interface toolkit for workstations (Motif or OPEN LOOK) and CRTs (curses), allows users to easily develop windows-based applications for both ASCII terminals and workstations.
- Includes the UniMenu menu system, a flexible front-end to UNIX commands and applications, user configurable from ASCII files.
