No -r option in Solaris.
Therefore:

find . | xargs grep PATTERN

(from this faq)

The new SNMP poller discovers components automatically and notify the data collector of any new or removed instances. For new components, the data collector can then create database records and RRD files. However, the poller knows nothing about dependencies, parents or relations to other components.
When the Datacollector needs to create new components, how does it know what the parent is?

A. per-class parent rule

• default: system component with same IP address

• bandwidth:

“bandwidth service” component with Name ending with company name which matches bandwidth component instance. E.g. Name of parent is “bandwidth Mizuho” / Instance of bandwidth is “GigabitEthernet3/40,fromCustomer”. This matches on Customer in both cases. We cannot use the Siebel or LDAP names of the companies since we are not in control of the policy names (the network team is).

B. Option to edit dependencies in GUI

It turns out Perl has decent profiling support:

bash-2.03# perl -d:DProf t/Agent.t
bash-2.03# dprofpp

OK, I had to create a Decafe e-mail for  our new QA team member, in the absense of any real sysadmin manpower… I just figured out how:

• Login to the mail server.
• Create a user account in the normal way (useradd -s /bin/bash [username], create homedir and chown to the new user)
• Edit /etc/postfix/aliases and add any aliases for this new user. One per line, e.g. a.user: user1. run “newaliases”.

That’s it.

Look on \\ip.ad.dr.ess\ (ending in old home number, btw)

for the Opsware install images.

You can browse from there using windows explorer
