External Scripts and Alerts
The portmanager has the ability to execute external scripts on certain events. These events are:
1.When a port is opened by the portmanager:
When the portmanager opens a port, it attempts to execute /etc/config/ scripts/portXX.init (where XX is the number of the port, e.g. 08). The script is run with STDIN and STDOUT both connected to the serial port.
If the script cannot be executed, then portmanager will execute /etc/ config/scripts/portXX.chat via the chat command on the serial port.
2.When an alert occurs on a port, the portmanager will attempt to execute /etc/config/scripts/portXX.alert (where XX is the port number, e.g. 08)
The script is run with STDIN containing the data which triggered the alert, and STDOUT redirected to /dev/null, NOT to the serial port. If you wish to communicate with the port, use pmshell or pmchat from within the script.
If the script cannot be executed, then the alert will be mailed to the address configured in the system administration section.
