ALARMPROGRAM
Hi,
Can the alarmprogram be used if LTAPEDEV is set to /dev/null? This is a
portion of my onconfig :
Diagnostics
MSGPATH /opt/informix/log/online.log # System message log file
path
CONSOLE /dev/console # System console message path
ALARMPROGRAM /opt/informix/etc/log_full.sh # Alarm program path
TBLSPACE_STATS 1 # Maintain tblspace statistics
# System Archive Tape Device
#TAPEDEV /dev/tapedev # Tape device path
TAPEDEV /dev/null # Tape device path
TAPEBLK 16 # Tape block size (Kbytes)
TAPESIZE 10240 # Maximum amount of data to put on tape
(Kbytes)
# Log Archive Tape Device
#LTAPEDEV /dev/tapedev # Log tape device path
LTAPEDEV /dev/null # Log tape device path
LTAPEBLK 16 # Log tape block size (Kbytes)
LTAPESIZE
Thanks.

Before you buy.
yes, the engine will still send the alarmprogram the documented messages.
the two are unrelated...

Yes, however, you do not NEED the ALARMPROGRAM to be set to log_full.sh
especially if you are trashing the logs to /dev/null. You can blank it
out, or substitute
some other program or script that will do more and ignore the Log Complete
messages that the log_full.sh script was designed exclusively to handle.
See my
eventalarm.c program that is designed to work as the ALARMPROGRAM which,
in addition to backing up the logical logs using ontape -a if LTAPEDEV is
NOT set
to /dev/null (yes it knows enough not to try if it IS set to /dev/null),
emails the
administrator(s) (my eventalarm.cfg actually specifies that it also email
my cell phone
so I can worry all the home in the evening until I can login and check it
out).
Eventalarm.c is part of my package utils3_ak available for download from
the IIUG
Software Repository.
