4.2 Automatically executing a command when a specific event is generated

When an event is issued, the system administrator might execute one or more commands to handle the event. Executing a particular command every time a specific event occurs is a burden on the system administrator. To reduce the workload, in this section we will specify settings so that a command is automatically executed whenever a specific event is issued.

This manual describes how to specify that the error action batch file (errortaisaku.bat) in C:\jp1im is executed on the management server (Windows computer) when an event of severity level Error is issued. Prepare the error action batch file in advance.

In Linux, also use the procedure described below. Make sure that you replace the application's storage location and file name with those for Linux.

Tip:

To report the occurrence of a failure by email:

Use the JP1/IM - Manager email notification function to set up the automated action function to send an email when a failure occurs.

For details, see A.1(2) Setting up the email notification function (Windows only). In Linux, set up the function to use the sendmail command to send emails.
