Review the output as the script checks the operating system on each system, verifies system-to-system communication, and sets up the log file noted below:
Checking system communication:
Verifying communication with slpas06 ...... ping successful
Attempting remsh with slpas06 ............ remsh successful
Attempting rcp with slpas06 ................ rcp successful
Checking OS version on slpas06 .............. HP-UX B.11.23
Creating log directory on slpas06 .................... Done
