repl-monitor (Monitors Replication Status)
289
Option Description
replication information. For more information
about the configuration file, see Configuration
File Format.
-p port Specifies the initial replication supplier's port.
The default value is 389.
-r If specified, causes the routine to be entered
without printing the HTML header information.
This is suitable when making multiple calls to this
routine — such as specifying multiple, different,
unrelated supplier servers — and expecting a
single HTML output.
-t refreshInterval Specifies the refresh interval in seconds. The
default value is 300 seconds. This option must
be used with the -u option.
-u refreshUrl Specifies the refresh URL. The output HTML file
may invoke a CGI program periodically. If this
CGI program in turn calls this script, the effect
is that the output HTML file would automatically
refresh itself. This is useful for continuous
monitoring. See also the -t option. The script
has been integrated into Red Hat Administration
Express, so that the replication status can be
monitored through a web browser.
-v Prints the version of this script.
