Sending and Receiving Alerts

Receiving Alerts From ALOM

ALOM generates alert messages in the following format:

$HOSTID $EVENT $TIME $CUSTOMERINFO $HOSTNAME message

Sending Customized Alerts

To send customized alerts, use the scadm command send_event. You can do this in two ways:

• Send the alert immediately from the superuser prompt.
• Create a script (command file) that sends the alert under special circumstances.
