ux2html collects Unix Operating System detailed configuration on standard output in HTML format.

ux2html contains Bourne Shell scripts to collect system configuration from all Unix boxes:

• Linux/GNU (many distributions tested: RedHat, CentOS, RockyLinux, OEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, Photon OS, SUSE, ...)

• and many other like: System V, NonStop-UX, OSF1, DYNIX, ...
  Most common versions are already managed and all Unix versions are supported: if You find a bug for a version specific version we will try to fix it!
  The script is easly extendible with plug-in and custom configuration.

Security notes

ux2html is a System Administrator script. It requires root privileges to extract all system informations. Source code has been thoroughly tested and can be easly inspected by administrators before using it. For better security the installation directory (/usr/local/amm) must be writeable from root only. Generated statistics contain sensitive information like user/group list, software versions, IP adresses, ...
