Guidelines for Writing Automated Script

To write an automated script:

Step 1 Copy the sampleEmailScript.pl from RME 3.5 or older to the new RME 4.1 server and put this file in:

For Solaris:

/var/adm/CSCOpx/files/scripts/syslog directory

For Windows:

NSMROOT/files/scripts/syslog

Step 2 Write a shell script for Solaris or .bat file for Windows in the same directory.

Here is an example shell script (called syslog-email.sh) for UNIX:

#!/bin/sh

/opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/scripts/syslog/sampleEmailScript.pl

-text_message "MEssage:

$2 from device: $1" -email_ids nobody@nowhere.com -subject "Syslog Message: $2" -from

nobody@nowhere.com -smtp mail-server-name.nowhere.com

For Windows, replace $1 and $2 with %1 and %2 and change the directory accordingly.

To enable or disable an automated action:

Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Tools > Syslog > Automated Actions.

A dialog box, displaying the list of automated actions, appears in the Automated Action page.

For the description of the columns in the Automated Actions dialog box, see Defining Automated

Actions.

Step 2 Select the required automated action from the list in the dialog box.

Step 3 Click Enable/Disable to toggle its status.

The dialog box in the Automated Action page is refreshed and it displays the changed state for the

specified automated action.
