Could anyone give me some advice on the best way to set up some sort of daily check of errpt?

I have this script running on 3 servers to keep me sane. It does require you to install the GNU date found in the coreutils package that came in the install disks (that's how I got around the problem of the beginning of the month). It's run with a crontab entry every morning at a convenient time.

#!/bin/ksh

errdate=$(/opt/freeware/bin/date --date="-1 days" +"%m%d0000%y")
curdir=$(find / -name mailerrs 2>/dev/null | awk -F/ '{ ORS="/"; for( i=1; i<NF; i++ ) print $i }')
outfile=$(print ${curdir}lasterrs.log)
sendto="unix@admin.email"
subject="$(uname -n) errors found over last day"

errpt -a -s $errdate > $outfile

if
then
mail -s "$subject" $sendto < $outfile
fi

I run nagios on my AIX systems. Using one of the plugins, it monitors the errpt and notifies me of any problems. It does this via email, but could just as easily send an SMS message. -Mike

Mike,
I would like to run nagios on my AIX box but I could never get it to compile. The make errors out and I don't know how to troubleshoot it. I am not a PERL person. So I dropped it. I am still running Netsaint.
Did you compile it on your AIX or are you running nrpe instead?
Can you tell me how you got it to compile?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

OK. I guess I'll need to go explore NRPE. I don't have a Linux box and would really like to run the whole thing from my AIX.

Thanks for the info.

Hi

Configure SSH key authentication on remote AIX server and run plugin on remote server as per the below command.
/usr/bin/ssh -x -o nagios@$HOSTNAME$ /usr/lib/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
