scheduler shutdown notification

Hi

Is there a way to send a notification if the scheduler is shutdown?

Thanks!

Sure. Depending on which facilities are available to you, you can use simple process monitor looking for the scheduler command line in process list (shell script based on ps + grep + sendmail) or you can lookup if there is a process listening on port 1096 (use netstat; you will need to enable server mode in 24x7 settings if it is not already enabled), you can also create remote monitor pinging the scheduler on port 1096 and sending an alert if there is no response. If you have some jobs running periodically, you can also monitor their logs for updates, etc.... and of course if you have system or 3rd party process monitoring tools you can use them too, take a look for example at "Process Monitor HOW-TO for Linux" http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Process-Monitor-HOWTO.html. And finally, there is a built-in support for the scheduler fail-over. See High Availability topic in the on-line manual.

If you need further help with this, please let us know which method you prefer for the monitoring.

OK that's what I was thinking.
I did not know if there was a way inside the scheduler to have a notification sent on shutdown.

Maybe you can consider this for an enhancement request?

Thanks!

In that case you can simply add a line at the end of master.sh file to send an email. That line will be executed by the system after the scheduler process termination.

OK Thanks!
