Issue Sometimes a system administrator is unaware when there are problems with an iCAP system and the problems can persist for a long time before it becomes obvious that action is required. This can result in the following outcomes:    Temporary Capacity (TiCAP) is consumed inadvertently, and possibly a negative TiCAP balance results. Cores allocated to vPars exceed the quantity of usage rights available, resulting in one or more vPars being unable to reboot.

Script #!/usr/bin/sh # set -x # # File: icapreport.sh # Purpose: This script is meant to be run as a cron job on a daily # basis for the purpose of notifying the system administrator # when certain iCAP issues need attention. # Instructions: # 1. Save this file in a directory such as /usr/local/bin. # 2. Modify the RECIPIENT variable to be either a user's e-mail # address to receive this report or an e-mail alias for a # distribution list. # 3. Add an entry to root's crontab -- see crontab(1).
