KUDZU utility in red hat LINUX & Benefits of using Kudzu

KUDZU utility in red hat LINUX:-

 

            Kudzu utility in Red Hat LINUX detects and configures new changed hardware in the system. This hardware probing tool run in a server when we boot the system to configure a new hardware. It then determines if the new hardware is added to/removed from the system by checking the database file /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. If the file exists in the system, then Kudzu detects the new hardware , updates the database file and brings the system intact. If the database file does not exist, it check for the configured devices/hardware in the /etc/modprobe.conf, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and /etc/X11/xorg.conf

 

Benefits of using Kudzu:-

 

-Using Kudzu it minimizes the human effort to identify the added/removed hardware.

-If the Kudzu utility exists in the system along with the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file then this utility automatically synchronize the newly added/removed devices with the system.

-Kudzu helps here by providing an alert to the user to sync the detected devices if the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file does not exists.
