Duty3G V5.1 encourages sound management practices by making it possible to perform the regular operations workload on UNIX, Linux and Windows servers in a way that is efficient, reliable, verifiable, compliant, and repeatable whilst protecting privileged user access.

Key features of the new release are:

Enhanced operations

  • for a selected class
  • that run on a selected host
  • for a selected users' role

Improved auditing

  • by selected time period
  • that have ended in error
  • for selected duty
  • for selected user
  • for selected mode

Installation Requirements

Software prerequisites

To install and run Duty3G V5.1 on a host, you must have:


Disk space required

Software Approximately 1 MB in the duty3G home directory.
Temporary Files While installing duty3G: less than 1 MB, to hold a copy of the software distribution.
While duty3G is running: less than 1 MB in /tmp.
Audit Trail For the duty3G audit trail, about 10 - 50 MB in the system spool area. The actual amount will depend on the activity on your system (e.g. how many duties are run), and how often you archive and delete the log files.

Running Remote Duties on Windows

The current duty3G release supports running remote duties on Windows hosts which have the EWC (Enterprise Windows Client) V3.1.1 installed. This product may be purchased separately.
