-h mailserver

sleep 60 # prevents server bind address not available issue

/usr/bin/scomd -F /etc/scomd_port1.ini ttyS1

# end of routine notification shell script

3. Run the following command to add execute privilege to the shell script:

# chmod +x /home/routine_notify.sh

4. Using vi create a setup file /home/scomsetup2.ini and add the following content to it:

PortBitRate=1200

DelayAfterOpen=2

MaxRetriesOnError=2

ProbeTimeout=10

FormatDelimiter=new_line

Command=read_data

UnitofMeasure=C

5. Run the crontab scheduler edit command:

# crontab -e

Add the following line to the crontab scheduler and save it (uses the vi editor). In this example the

crontab scheduler runs the shell script at 7:00 AM everyday:

00 07 * * * /home/routine_notify.sh

6. Edit the file /etc/config_files and add the following line at the top of the file:

/var/cron/tabs/root

7. Save the above changes in flash memory using the following command:

# saveconf

8. Triple check all of the above files for correct entries. If additional changes are made, run the

saveconf command again. To test the shell script for proper operation run it from the command

line without using the crontab scheduler as follows:

# /home/routine_notify.sh
