My apologies if this is an inappropriate group to post this to. I have posted this request to comp.sources.wanted in the past, with limited success. I'm looking for problem tracking, technical support and possibly site configuration info application that runs under UNIX. I'm looking for either freeware, shareware, or some relatively inexpensive commercial application. The program needs to support 5 active Technicians, who would be operating off of the same database over slow speed links. Due to the limited bandwidth, a character based application would be preferred. These are some of the features that I am looking for. 1. Each problem is assigned a ticket number and that each problem contain standard information, such as site, reporter, subject, user, brief synopsis and detailed description. 2. Ability to mail specified users, when a problem is logged in a certain section. 3. The ability to do keyword scans. It would be helpful to have selectable keywords available when entering a new problem. 4. Automatic reminder of old problems that have not be closed. 5. The ability to do reports by tech, by site, by problem section. 6. The ability to bring up site specific information, such as network and workstation configuration. 7. Email reporting of problems by user, with automatic receipt notification. The emphasis of the system, are to get the techs from three different geographic regions to work together. To solve problems once and not three times over. It is important to let the developers know what is happening with their applications, and it is important to let the trainers know about user difficulties. Any help in finding such an application, would be greatly appreciated. I'll summarize, if there is enough interest. regards, ->Gerry Schenk ->gschenk@video.rogers.com
