RE: {bb} Big Brother Servers - Unix vs Windows



Hi Scott,

 

I think the main benefits to Unix (besides a general distaste for Windows) are in terms of granularity and scalability as well as the number of add-on scripts our “brothers” have written for Unix.  Also, I think Windows misses out on some of the graphing and reporting available through larrd.

 

I think the offline feature you are referring to is available in a script from deadcat.net called maint.pl.  It provides a web front end for enabling and disabling tests.  I’m running it on Linux but the release notes list it for Windows as well.  

Here’s the link.

 

I’m sure the other brothers have more input as well, but hopefully this will get you started.

 

Tom

Experience with Big Brother Servers on Unix and Windows

 

A customer wants to understand the main differences with the UNIX and Windows Big Brother servers.

 

Does anyone have input on the feature differences that you know about?  (A customer noted that the Unix Big Brother server had an “offline” feature, Does the Windows Big Brother Server have this also?)

 

Thanks!
