3 Voice System Administration Message Administration

3Enter the destination for the message you want to add in the Message Destination: field or press F2 (Choices) to select from a menu.

Valid message destinations are:

~stderr — The standard error of the process generating the message. Since most system processes redirect standard error to the system console, specifying this destination may result in the message being sent to the system console.

~console — The system console or /dev/console.

~alertPipe — A specially named pipe for messages that must be sent directly to the alerter. The alerter pipe is used for some special system processes. Specification of the alerter pipe for other system messages has little or no effect on the system message facility or on the alerter itself. The system is distributed with some messages specified with the alerter pipe as a destination. This destination should not be removed from the message.

Note: Separating alarm destinations from event destinations ensures that alarm messages do not overrun event messages, and vice versa.

~alarm — Specifies that the delivery system send all alarm level messages, that is, minor, major, and critical (denoted by “*”, “**” and “*C”, respectively) to the alarm log. The alarm log may be accessed via the display messages command or the Message Log Report window.
