I'd like to be able to monitor TSM server messages so that I can (for example) raise alerts to our in-house monitoring/alert system.
My preference would be to pass the details of event messages to a script, which can then "decide" what action to take. Using a script will make it easy for other Unix Admins to configure the monitoring in future. The sample "user exit" source code advises that the system() function should not be used - So I thought a simple way around this would be to set-up a "file exit" which writes to a named pipe and have a "C" program read the messages and launch the script. I presume that this has already been thought of - So I was wondering if anybody has tried it? If so are there any problems? Many Thanks, =Adrian=
