Problem solved! Those messages relate to SELinux which is apparently some kind of new prototype security feature shipped with later releases of RedHat Linux. I just disabled it...and things starting working. But I understand I could of equally amended the policy settings to remove the...

I am running snmptrapd version 5.1.2 on a server with Linux ES 4 installed. I have configured the /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf file to call a script for all incoming traps : traphandle default /usr/sbin/snmptthandler But whenever a trap is sent to my server the above script is not run. Instead...

I want to be able to run a Post Job script that parses the job log for success/failure and then reports the findings to another application (for further processing). The only problem is I need access to the job log from within my script but am not sure how to achieve this. I guess just knowing...

I have configured Arcserve to send SNMP traps to a Linux server when my back-up job succeeds or fails. This seem to work fine. The snmptrapd daemon running on my Linux server successfully intercepts the trap and places it in my /var/log/messages file (via syslog). However, I am a little...

Am a complete newbie to XML so apologies in advance for the nature of my question! Basically, I want to send an XML file to a web server from a Linux box. The address where I need to send the file looks something like this : https://myserver.com/asp/myscript.asp Does anyone know how I would...

Thanks. I will look into that.

Well, we are in the process of developing all our monitoring activity around Nagios. The Arcserve backups are just one of many things we would like to monitor in this way. I suppose I may be able get Arcserve to send SNMP traps to our Nagios server and do it that way. But was just wondering...

Is it possible to make Arcserve run a user-defined script once a backup has completed and somehow pass the contents of the backup report to it (via STDIN perhaps)? The idea being that my script could then parse the backup report for success/failure and use this info to generate alerts via...

Hmmmmmmm...yep, probably not the best solution. Kinda brings things full circle though. Other than being able to test for the process running (which I can't 'cos there is no PID) and not having the luxury of the .ini thingy (this being an app written by a software company who I doubt are just...

Did a bit more investigating and discovered there is a file C:\pfwrun5\private\changed.db that seems to exist when the app is running and disappear when it's not. So, I have just written a simple script that tests for the existance of this file. Seems to work a treat. Many thanks for all your help.

Hi...can't recall the exact name of the process I saw running since it's on another computer that I currently can't see. But all I did was right click on the app that is definitely always running and then selected the "Go to process..." thingy and then it just highlighted the process in the...

I want to use Nagios to determine if a Paradox application is running on a remote Windows machine. The problem I have is that although the application is definitely running and appears in the Task Manager list as process pdxrwin.exe, it doesn't appear to have a process id attached to it...

Looks like there was a problem with my perl script after all! Basically, my script extracts the backup group name from the header record and uses this to formulate a filename to which I then save the report. To identify the header record I was searching for the text "Networker Savegroup"...

Hi... I think I have seen this link before but it didn't seem to help :-( You will notice that the article does state the following (when discussing the 'Action' parameter) : 'Note: When the "Action" program or script is invoked, the contents of the message are passed in STDIN.' My...
