no restart notification message (EMS)

[A.K.]

Hi guys,
I upgraded EMS on my systems to B.11.00.24.11
Now the restart notification message which I find very useful is gone
Although I added the following thru
/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
9) Send events generated by monitors
/system/events/system_status
with severity >= INFORMATION to EMAIL oot

Nothing happens after a reboot
What should I do in order to restore this functionality?

Hi,

Take a look at this thread below,

http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000066276280

The ITRC doc id is 8606263521

Hope this helps.

Yes ,
I saw that documentation already but I thought there might be a way to bypass this .
What can I say it was a very useful bug.

One EMS restart message might be okay but I thought that several of them were excessive.

You could put a script in /sbin/init.d that sends an email out when the system boots. Link it to a S-script in your run-level of choice (/sbin/rc#.d). I would put it at the end so that all the services (sendmail) are up and running. This is more flexible since the script lets you do things that EMS doesn't - log info to a file, email specific system info, remind you to check some configuration, etc.
