 # Overview
 
-This is a collection of bash/shell scripts to assist in linux server administration
-designed to be run by a Unix shell, a command-line interpreter to assist in
-automating, management and reporting tasks.
+Script to provide html reporting of a system status.
+Provides an offline/regular report to lessen the need to install resource heavy software like webadmin on a server
 
-# Prerequisites
-<br></br>
-**Bash (the Bourne Again SHell) - version 5.1+**
-
-**Linux/Unix System**
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Other versions of bash are not tested/support, for testing you can utilise [Shell Check](https://www.shellcheck.net/)
-> 
-> The scripts have not been designed to work with non-unix/linux systems
+The main focus of the script is to be secure, simple and focus on using less resources as possible
+while still providing a good amount of information for server administration
 
-**The scripts are very basic and easy to use/customise**
+<i>The scripts were previous written in bash/shell script, this is still available in the inital release of this project.</i>

-A script to generate a HTML report of the current server auth requests for the past 3 hours
-Provides a regular report for the each 3 hours of the `auth.log` on the server to audit server
-connection attempts and logins.
-Can be run via the crontab to produce the html report
