118 Troubleshooting
• Redirect
stdout
and
stderr
to a file when specifying the application so that you can see any output or
error messages.
• If you want to execute multiple applications (or commands) for an alert, create a script to do that and
put the full path to the script in the "application to execute" box.
Example 1:
ps -ef >/tmp/psout.txt 2>&1
The command in Example 1 executes the application
ps
, redirects
stdout
to the file
/tmp/psout.txt
,
and redirects
stderr
to the same file as
stdout
.
Example 2:
mail -s "Server Alert" admin </tmp/alertmsg.txt >/tmp/mailout.txt
2>&1
The command in Example 2 executes the mail application to send the message contained in the file
/tmp/alertmsg.txt
to Red Hat Enterprise Linux user or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server user, and
Administrator, with the subject "Server Alert." The file
/tmp/alertmsg.txt
must be created by the user
before the event occurs. In addition,
stdout
and
stderr
are redirected to the file
/tmp/mailout.txt
in
case an error occurs.
