Updates:

  • It is possible to answer 'q' to quit the CharonReport for questions asked at the beginning of the script execution

  • Update in OOM kills tracking: all kills are now reported and the report highlights known Charon processes when possible (as Linux reports a process name that can be different from executable file name)

Updates:

  • Charon products and versions table updated

  • Added check for duplicate license number (with different keyid)

  • Results chapter now contains all warning and errors found (duplicate messages are removed)

Updates:

  • For better compatibility, 'locale' settings are forced to 'C'

  • If the Linux toolkit is not installed and used, the script will try to find valid .cfg files based on running processes before asking the location of the .cfg file(s) used on the server

  • Charon products and versions table updated (SSP 5.6.1)

  • If the Linux toolkit is installed but not used to run the Charon emulator(s), user has to specify location of the .cfg file(s) if not already known by the CharonReport utility

  • ➡️ Results chapter now contains all warning and errors found (duplicate messages are removed)

  • Added check for duplicate license number (with different keyid)
