I guess it has something to do with the alarmprogram/sysalarmprogram script. But I do not exactly how I could do it. Does anyone know if there is sample script out that would ask the dynamic server send an email or page someone when it is shutting down? Thanks! Bryan Chung

In the ALARMPROGRAM check the severity argument and if 4 or 5 then: mailx dba@dba_ws 12345@skypage.com <<EOF Server Going Down! The server is going down. Messages are: $* EOF The SYSALARMPROGRAM also captures some more severe crashes and you can do the same there. Art S. Kagel
