An Advanced Job Scheduler

In this article, I’ll be going back to good old green screen, well for some parts of this article! Nested in the IBM i 7.5 OS announcements made by IBM in May 2022, was the statement that half a dozen or so licensed programs will now be included within the cost of the OS.  Great […]

An Ansible IBM i Disk Checker

May 30, 2022 by Andy Youens 1 Comment

This article slightly deviates from my usual open source articles on IBM i. I say slightly, as this article will be about Ansible and yes Ansible is open-source.  Thank-you Red Hat. This article will not be an introduction to Ansible.  My good friend Glenn Robinson, has written a great couple of PowerWire articles on that […]

In this article I will talk about an open-source utility that hasn’t got much airspace since it was released on our IBM i. Its called logrotate, a handly utility that can help us manage the many logs we have on our IFS.  As we all know, log files can easily get out of hand.  How […]
