Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Flavio Botelho (nuncanada) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Don't send Checksum Report if no problem is found Initial Comment: The admin should only receive e-mails if problems are found, there is no point sending 0 errors reports every day. The UNIX philosophy dictates to send messages only on error. Attached is a patch for this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Downing (jimdowning) Date: 2009-02-18 13:43 Message: Hi Flavio, Claudia, FYI - the thinking behind this was that e-mail is not a reliable real-time alerting service. The basis of the UNIX philosophy is presumably that errors are reliably signalled. Mail can be dropped / delayed / stuck after being sent from the original machine. That is to say that a checksum error doesn't 100% result in an error message being received by the admin. Essentially, if we don't send an e-mail every day then the admin doesn't know whether the lack of an e-mail means everything is OK or that there's a problem with the e-mail service. I agree with Claudia that this should be configurable, but maintain that the current behaviour is more responsible and should be the default. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Claudia Juergen (cjuergen) Date: 2009-02-18 13:24 Message: Hi Flavio, imo it would be better to make it configurable. This would be a) backward compatible b) more practical for testing Sunny Greetings Claudia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=319984&aid=2606902&group_id=19984 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Dspace-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-devel
