Re: {bb} notification if the conn to a client goes down

[Srinath Alapati <salapati@altera.com>]

I) Here is my bbwarnrules.cfg:

# baanprap1, sun-fri, except msgs and disk
baanprap1;;*;msgs disk;0-5;0000-0030 0130-2359;test@test.com:~5-240
test-p@altera.com:~5-240
# saturday, except msgs and disk
baanprap1;;*;msgs disk;6;0000-0030 0130-0700
1530-2359;test@test.com:~5-240 test-p@test.com:~5-240

# baanprap2, except msgs and disk
baanprap2;;*;msgs disk;*;0000-0100 0130-2359;test@test.com:~5-240
test-p@test.com:~5-240

# All systems except baanprap1 and baanprap2, except disk and msgs
*;baanprap1 baanprap2;*;msgs disk;*;0000-0100
0130-2359;test@test.com:~5-240 test-p@test.com:~5-240

# On all systems, notify about disk and messages file once in 4 days
*;;msgs disk;;*;*;test@test.com:5760 
---------- END OF bbwarnrules.cfg ------------

II) My BBNET, BBDISPLAY and BBPAGER is the same host.

III) You mean in $BBHOME/tmp? Yes. There are np_* files but nothing to
do with error code 500 (which is conn). They are files that has to 
do with msgs and disk.

Since I am waiting 5 minutes to notify, I am wondering if the connection
has been intermittent. However, the history file shows 1043 seconds. Is
this 1043 secs interval continous??


TIA
