How Can I Check the Status of My AC-Hunter and Zeek Systems?

This script will show the status of both the AC-Hunter and Zeek systems. Example call:

ach_status.sh | less

If you’d prefer to create a compressed version of this output ready to attach to a tech support email thread, run the following, all on one line:

TF=$(mktemp -q /tmp/achstat.$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).XXXXXX) ; ach_status.sh >"$TF" 2>&1 ; gzip -9
"$TF"

The resulting file in /tmp/ whose name starts with achstat and ends with gz is ready to send back as part of a support request.
