Script for Monitoring iCAP Systems (August 2010)

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).

# An example crontab entry would be:

# 00 03 * * * /usr/local/bin/icapreport.sh

# That would generate a report every day at 03:00am

# Limitations: This script is compatible with versions 8.x, 9.x and 10.x

# of the iCAP software. It explicitly does not work

# with earlier versions of iCAP.

# Disclaimer: This script is meant to be an example that should be

# modified by the user to meet their specific needs.
