Re: Monitoring Software??

Assuming that you are a developer, you should be able to easily write such a script either using a shell or perl or C. Check for the presence of a file every n seconds (or whatever time interval) in a directory, and when one found, run another script, etc. etc.

Hi everybody,

I am currently setting up a web site for customers to place orders. Having placed the order the file will be downloaded onto the Unix server (SCO UNIX v 5.0.4). At this point I need to be able to monitor the system for the file being resident and if it is then perform an action on it, possibly set a script off running passing the filename as a parameter. The monitor should be looking for the file every few seconds so I require something which does not hog the machine.

Anybody out there who can point me in the right direction.

envmond

envmond(8)						      System Manager's Manual							envmond(8)

NAME

       envmond - Environmental Monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/envmond

DESCRIPTION

       Environmental  Monitoring  provides  a  means of detecting system threshold conditions, that if exceeded, could result in a loss of data or
       damage to the system itself.  Using the envmond daemon, thresholds levels can be checked and corrective action can ensue before any  damage
       occurs.

       The envmond daemon performs the following: Queries the system for exceeded threshold levels.  Broadcasts a message to users warning of high
       threshold conditions or fan failure, and suggests corrective action.  Sends a message to users when a high temperature condition  has  been
       resolved.  Notifies all users that an orderly shutdown is to be initiated if recovery is not possible.

       To  enable  Environmental  Monitoring, the envmond daemon must be started during the system boot, but after the eSNMP and Server System MIB
       agents have started.  Before starting Environmental Monitoring, a system check is performed.  If the system hardware does not support Envi-
       ronmental Monitoring, the envmond daemon and Server System MIB are not started.

       You can customize, start, and stop the envmond daemon using the envconfig utility.  For more information, see the envconfig reference page.

FILES

       A database that contains the values of the Environmental Monitoring variables.
