Re: Looking for a utility/software...
Ok, it's more clear now what our needs are.
Basically our test team needs an easy way to quickly see the status of services running on different servers on the network. They need a small utility on windows machine that they can simply double click and it can bring the gui which shows the status.
The status is basically the result output of various commands issued to a remote AIX box. For example:
The command "dspmq" issued on a command prompt on an AIX box will display the status of MQ series Q manager.
The command "mqsilist" shows the status of Message broker configuration manager
So there are various other commands that will show status of other type of servers like DB2 etc.
As you can see these are not Ping commands so any generic utility won't do.
I've started our own home grown utility for the team. After doing much research I came to the conclusion that an executable java jar file will do our job - with swing GUI. I'm also looking into java ssh api that allows you to authenticate to an AIX/Unix box, open session/shell and execute commands and capture output via java api.
