Hello All We have alarmprogram turned on but unfortunately, when the Server runs out of locks we recieve hundreds or even thousands of emails stating so - " Attention! : Dynamic Server resource overflow: 'Locks'." Is there a way to configure the alarm so that we get a limited number - say 10 or 50 emails rather than an email for each of the sessions and the locks that are overflowing? Thanks in Advance! Tom

Alarmprogram gets processed for each error as listed in the Informix messages file. If you do not want all the errors then you need to code alarmprogram not to send you these emails. Something like touch a file (alarmlock) and if the timestamp is in the last 5 minutes not send another email .... OR create the file and submit a job to delete that file in 5 minutes while not sending an email when that file exists.

Take a look at my alarm program, eventalarm.c, in the package utils3_ak in the IIUG Software Repository. Basically it avoids this problem by making a record in a file of the last time it sent a message about a particular event id and only sends another email after N minutes have passed (N is configurable but defaults to 5 minutes) Art S.
