Re: {bb} Reading a file

[a m crowe <a.m.crowe@durham.ac.uk>]

Jeff,

I am already using bb-central to check messages, I have put an entry in 
the bb-param file with the following format.

host	Item	OS	yellow Red	File to check

However in the tmp/msgs directory the msgssent-*** file is checking 
var/adm/messages which is not the file that I'd like to check, and so 
the msgs-**** file is empty. The msgssize and msgstab are picking up the 
correct settings from bb-param. Any help would be great as its driving 
me nuts!

Thanks

Andrew
