Hello.
My manager asked me to create a daily / weekly / monthly checkup routine for a linux server (Centos 4). Some kind of a "to do" list, making sure all of the relevant services are working properly: hardware, software, network services, quota... I'm a linux newbie, and am not aware of all the components that are relevant to this kind of checkup.
Can you help me?
Thank you.

I guess its just a case of checking services are running I wrote a check script for a tru64 system once but seem to have lost it but its really write down all the services you think should be running then check them
i.e
ps -ef | grep http
telnet localhost 80
this is a basic check for a running apache server but there is much more you can do of course.. Really is such a wide requirements question you need to be a bit more specific in your question!
