Comments on How To Quickly Get A List Of All Applications Installed On Your UNIX/Linux Machines
How to quickly get list of all applications installed on your UNIX/Linux machines In this tutorial I'll try to present how to quickly get the list of all applications installed on UNIX/Linux hosts. The procedure applies to the most popular UNIX/Linux distributions but is also applicable to windows hosts and some other hardware (e.g. firmware version on routers etc.). The procedure could help you track your software inventory and get notifications whenever users install/uninstall applications on their machines.

on Debian(ish): dpkg --get-selections > installedapps.txt
You said "I'll be using free version of Verax NMS & APM because of its installed software monitor", but according to the web site link above there is no free version for Linux/Unix!!!
Is it possible to take the list of software that is installed on a machine and identify the packages that were installed after the base version was installed. ie the packages that one installs which are not in the original distribution. Then use this list to create a way of installing the list on the same machine if problem has arisen or to us it to install the packaged on an updated machine. ie going from Fedora 19 to Fedora 20 where Fedora 20 is a clean install and not up just upgraded?
This is not easy way but you can use the below command to get the list of repo package installed.
yum repo-pkgs my-rpms list.
If you wish to get the results in txt file, simply point this command to a text file as below:
yum repo-pkgs my-rpms list. > /pathtodirectory/nameofthefile.txt
That will generate full list of repo rpm packages into a txt file.
