Testers needed for syslog configurator

[RobMokkink]

I need some testers for my new tool:

I created a tool that allows you to get the syslog.conf from one server, you can adjust it if you need to and then adjust the syslog.conf to all servers in your environment.

A backup is created and named /etc/syslog.bak

I assume you have sudo configured correctly so you can use sudo.

Pretty neat. It seems to do what you say it will. I don't have any feedback other than "polish" stuff. It could use an in progress indicator of some kind when connecting to VC or reading syslog info. Nice work.

Thanks hal for testing. I now made the app work a lot quicker.

This is the 0.1 version.

I will add the progress indicator in the next version.

Rob,

For environment that don't use sudo can your tool be configured to handle a non-root use and then su to root?

Also, how about environments that commit the sin of enabling ssh for root?

PS Sorry for not getting back to you about testing Deploy VM's based on a template from a .csv I've had minimal spare cycles.

Plink and su don't like su in scripts. I will have to dig deaper for that.

I am just arrived home from 4 days in vmworld.

Okay, i created a new version, for the file copy i switched to pscp.

Awesome! It works great and easy to edit for my environment, used a RO account to connect to VC. IT would be nice to have a disconnect from VC button and highlight particular hosts instead of having to do all at once. Thanks for posting this it saved me a lot of time, since after every patch remediation our syslog files get overwritten .... not really sure why??
