Running a shell script in an alert

[Carl Tosi]

Currently, I have an alert set to ‘exec’ action. I have  it pointing to a  shell proc, /opt/cloverleaf/cis20.1/integrator/uimcpmsc/scripts/Phil_Dev_alrt_bounce.sh), to bounce the thread when it exceeds max threhold.

 

Can I just place the commands in the textbox instead :

hcicmd -p dvcedtahl7PROD -c ‘f_PHLPS_dvce pstop’
sleep 30
hcicmd -p dvcedtahl7PROD -c ‘f_PHLPS_dvce pstart’

 

TIA,
Carl Tosi

You can put the command in the Command box.

There is a new command you can use to cycle the thread.

It is prestart

hcicmd -p dvcedtahl7PROD -c ‘f_PHLPS_dvce prestart 30’

As I have said before, stopping and starting threads can be a bit ify at times.  You don’t know how much more the thread might attempt to do before stopping or even if it stops at all.  It all depends on busy the process is.  The command may time out before it is executed.

I find it safer to stop the process even if it means putting a thread in a process by itself or with other threads you don’t mind stopping/starting a the same time.  The process stop command will kick the process to death if it does not stop naturally.

Just my $0.02.
