Re: [IBMiOSS] OPS Version Information

Very cool.  I think "what is my current state?" tools for PASE are going to
be very valuable in the near future.

Your script gave me an idea based on some work Tony Cairns did with
ibmichroot.  Basically there is a new way of generating(n1)
chroot_xxxxx.lst files by using the PTF info files (.qptfinf) and a python
script(n2).  This was done so all the necessary symlinks would be
automatically created and not based on my or Tony's recollection(n3).

I am thinking the .qptfinf files could also be used to do a health check to
make sure nothing has "stained" the IBM directory (i.e.
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/...).   We do have command CHKPRDOPT but it
doesn't appear to go as deep as I'd like (i.e. checking for *new* files,
permissions, modified files, etc).

n1 - Look for chroot_gen_xxxx.lst files at this URL:
https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmichroot/src/master/chroot/
n2 -
https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmichroot/src/master/chroot/gen_chroot_OPS_lst
n3 -
https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmichroot/src/master/chroot/chroot_gen_OPS_Python3.4.lst
