cron Configuration Requirements
The iCOD software utilizes the cron job scheduler to send an asset
report, via e-mail, to HP on a daily basis. For details of the asset report,
see “iCOD System Configuration Information Reported to HP” on
page 31. Upon installation of the iCOD software, the following cron
entry is made in the system’s root crontab file:
0 12 * * * /usr/sbin/icod_notify -c </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1
This entry runs the iCOD icod_notify -c command at 12:00 noon
daily. To verify the cron entry, log in as root and enter the following
command:
/usr/bin/crontab -l
IMPORTANT As a part of the On Demand Solutions program requirements, HP must
receive the iCOD system’s asset report daily, via e-mail. Therefore, the
cron daemon should always be executing. For further information on
cron, see the cron(1M) manpage.
