I tend a service machine that mostly runs unattended, processing work requests that are sent to its reader (email, actually, from UNIX systems.) Yesterday, someone complained that his request had not been processed. The service machine had crashed 32 days before!
I can't diagnose it from the spooled console log -- our site purges spool files after two weeks. So, I get a weird idea. In PROFILE EXEC: CP DEFINE PUNCH ... /* Not 00D */ CP SPOOL ... to RSCS CONT Use NETDATA, etc. stages to create an email image addressed to me, and leave it in the CONT spooled punch. When the server crashes, the punch will be closed and the RSCS will deliver the email to me. o Will this work? o Is it abusive of system resources? o Is there a better way? Thanks, gil
