⑴supportconfig作为Linux系统shell编写的工具，其功能是非常强大的，但还是有很多人对supportconfig工具不了解，不知如何使用supportconfig工具，下面小编就简单的给大家介绍下Linux安装使用supportconfig的方法。
⑵一、supportconfig的安装
⑶可以通过yast进行安装，也可以通过zypper命令进行安装，安装命令如下：
⑷直接使用源进行安装
⑸#zypper install supportutils
⑹也可以将rpm包下载下来使用yast进行安装或者在yast的管理界面里查找安装
⑺#yast install supportutils-xxx.rpm
⑻注：根据系统的版本不同，包名也可能是supportconfig 。
⑼安装完成后可以使用rpm -ql supportutils 查看包中具体包含的文件信息，如下：
⑽# rpm -ql supportutils
⑾/etc/schealth.conf
⑿/etc/supportconfig.conf
⒀/sbin/chkbin
⒁/sbin/supportconfig
⒂/usr/bin/schealth
⒃/usr/share/man/man/supportconfig.conf..gz
⒄/usr/share/man/man/chkbin..gz
⒅/usr/share/man/man/supportconfig..gz
⒆注：上面的结果是在 suse sp企业版上的测试的结果，在opensuse 上目录结构会略有不同，其上使用的是新版本的supportconfig。
