Tyvm. That makes much more sense than an EXECUTE of the ecl command. Appreciate the input. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Nick provided info about how to generate the data so I'll comment on notifications. You can use email or you can popup notifications on the PC of an admin when something on the server requires attention. I blogged about this here: nospamNebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/mv/2008/09/remotecontrol1.html Note, that talks about remote control (and notifications) as being a new product offering. Though that was the intent and the software works well and is very cool, this has not been productized for lack of interest. Oh well. To do this yourself, write a program that runs in the tray or as a Windows service. Ping the server periodically (using your favorite language and connectivity tools) for data of interest. Report that data back to the user on the PC with the level of annoyance only commensurate with the level of urgency. If you want a tool that already does this, let me know. HTH Tony Gravagno Nebula Research and Development TG@ remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com We have an underutilized nagios server, so I may try to abstract my lock check into a plugin. Unibasic to handle the lock checking, passing status info back (warn for long locks, critical for queue entries) and let nagios do the notifying. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
