Re: Low budget solution for hardware monitoring alerts

That said ... I'm looking for a low budget solution to monitor our systems
and send alert messages when a message shows indicating a hardware problem.

First, set yourself up with a way to send PROGRAMMATICALLY GENERATED email
from your box.

Then just write a CL program that spends most of its time sleeping, and
periodically wakes up and checks QSYSOPR for messages "of interest."

I'd give you an outline on what I've done in that regard, but I'm on
vacation right now, and don't have access to the source code.

And if you need to monitor any kind of HTTP server running on your box,
Site24x7 has a free option.

Greetings from Sacramento (to be followed by Portland, Seattle, and San
Francisco, along with lots of time spent on trains.
