errors in Alarmdef file

[Maurice Peterse]

this is a part of my alarmdef file.... what's wrong?
the error is : IF conditions must be followed by THEN clause.
("/var/opt/perf/alarmdef", near line - 33)

this is a part :
alarm CPU_Bottleneck > 60 and omniagent:APP_ALIVE_PROC == 0 for 5 minutes
type = "CPU"
start
if CPU_Bottleneck > 80 and omniagent:APP_ALIVE_PROC == 0 for 5 minutes then
red alert "CPU Bottleneck probability= ", CPU_Bottleneck, "%"
else
yellow alert "CPU Bottleneck probability= ", CPU_Bottleneck, "%"
repeat every 15 minutes
if CPU_Bottleneck > 80 and omniagent:APP_ALIVE_PROC == 0 for 5 minutes then
red alert "CPU Bottleneck probability= ", CPU_Bottleneck, "%"
else
yellow alert "CPU Bottleneck probability= ", CPU_Bottleneck, "%"
end
reset alert "End of CPU Bottleneck Alert"

It looks to me that you don't have your test condition in brackets or parentheses, whichever shell you are using, or you need to separate the last word of your test and then with a semicolon. Or, try putting the then on a different line. Good luck an hope I have helped.

in brackets didn't work...
different lines AND brackets did

thanx!!

You may also have the then on the same line if you separate the ] and then with a semicolon. Maybe too much info since it works, but I thought I'd offer it up as a style point. I am always happy to help. Good luck.
