Hmmm, so far I'm getting NAN - I'm wondering, does this script handle 0 licenses checked out? Holidays are slow, so few licenses are checked out (often 0). Alternatively, I've messed up my cron - how does this look: 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * zenoss python /opt/zenoss/libexec/licenseEventCheck.py
I'm also assuming the search string will find "MATLAB" from the line WHERE summary LIKE '%%MATLAB%%'" or do I need the double quotes in ther also? -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University Chet Luther wrote, On 12/20/2008 8:38 PM: > On Dec 18, 2008, at 1:46 PM, James Pulver wrote: >> I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I'm currently >> getting syslog events from a license server when a license is >> checked in >> and out.
