Does anyone know of a utility which provides a reliable shell for operators to safely perform routine system maintenance tasks? I am aware of the program opcom (comp.sources.unix, volume 20) which allows operators to execute programs for which they would not normally have privelige, but what we need here is a friendly interface to it. We are running SunOS and Ultrix, and the operators are not familiar with anything more complex than a refridgerator. Any tips or better still, source code would be greatly appreciated. Email please, as usual. Will summarise. -- Dan Shearer email: Dan.Shearer@lux.sait.edu.au Computer Centre Phone: +61 8 343 3479 University of South Australia Fax : +61 8 349 4213

Possibly the best $US32.00 I ever spent !
Many scripts that will help you out.
I believe that you can ftp the scripts from uunet to save a bit of typing.
