Information
The trigger events can be associated with two types of scripts — Singleton and
Concurrent.
For singleton scripts, the following operations are performed:
— When the script is running, all the event occurrences are notified by the
SIGUSR1 signal and a new instance of the script is not spawned.
— The script uses the
getcurrevt utility to retrieve the event name.
— The script uses the
getnextevt utility to retrieve the last but one event name.
— The script, which contains the script name, args, and username, can be
associated with more than one trigger event.
— When multiple users configure a singleton script, the scripts runs separately in
each user context.
For concurrent scripts, the following operations are performed:
— A new instance of the script is spawned at every occurrence of the event.
— The maximum instances are restricted to 10.
— Only one trigger can be associated with the script, which contains the script
name, args, and username.
