cfg2html on Solaris – OS configuration Backup

July 18, 2012 By Cloud_Devops 1 Comment

cfg2html is very use full script to take all the system configuration backup in text format and html format.This script is available for Solaris,various Linux flavors and HP-Unix.
For more information about the script,please visit 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cfg2html.

Once you run the script by default it will generate three files. 
1. System configuration in text format  
2. System configuration in html format
3. Script Error log

These configuration backup files are very useful to build the server from scratch.But we have to  make sure you have latest configuration backup by running cfg2hmtl periodically and keep the output in other location or web portal for future reference.


Here is the script which you can download it and use it for Solaris 10.

cfg2html_solaris10_v1.0
From the google drive, Click on File tab- > Select Download 


Download the cfg2html and keep in /var/tmp/

#cd /var/tmp
#tar -xvf cfg2html_solaris10_v1.0.tar
#cd cfg2html_solaris_10v1.0

00 23 01 * * /var/tmp/cfg2html_solaris10_v1.0/cfg2html_solaris_10v1.0  > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
