Another instance of the "Alarm Server" idea is documented here - I think the original work was done in 2007-2008.
Sitworld: Sample EIF Listener project
http://itm-sitworld.blog/2014/01/17/sitworld-sample-eif-listener-project/The one thing that always worried me was handling cases where the listener task stalled or crashed. I was thinking of a simple crontab task to check if it was still running and restarting it... or maybe sending an email alert. If it did fail in a busy environment, the Event Integration Facility might run out of pre-defined slots [defaults to 4096] and you might start losing data. I also thought of a simple time based situation that would trigger the process to do a touch on a single file in one directory every hour [and otherwise be ignored], and an ITM situation to trigger if that file was not being updated regularly.
I have seen cases where a new system Perl was installed and some programs failed. But you could avoid that by using a private Perl installation.
That said it is a powerful and valuable idea.
