well, I haven't worked with errpt before, but... after browsing a web, I found a HOWTO which describes commonly used options for errpt. Among the options, I spotted the -c command line option which should be identical to 'tail -f' on regular files. If this flag is supported by errpt on your system and it behaves like 'tail -f', there are a number of ways for getting errpt's output: you can start the "errpt -c" process from SEC with the 'spawn' action; start it with 'shellcmd' option, direct the output to a file which is monitored by SEC; start the errpt -c process from cron and direct its output to a file which is monitored by SEC, etc. BR, risto > > Thx & rgds > LY > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Simple-evcorr-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/simple-evcorr-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Simple-evcorr-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/simple-evcorr-users
