[Xymon] Automated remedial actions

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi all,

 

I've got a requirement to take a specific action on a unix server should
we get a specific message in a log file. 

 

I'm not sure this is even possible in Xymon and I suspect I'll have to
try and work out some way of doing it with a script. 

 

Perhaps an external script that will somehow check for the message, run
the relevant command to fix it and report a warning alert so that we
know it has happened.

 

If there is some better way of doing it through Xymon I'd really like to
know how.

 

Thanks,

Neil Simmonds
