Commands Reference, Volume 3
Creates a new response definition with one action.
Creates a new response definition with one action.
The mkresponse command creates a new response definition with
the name specified by the Response parameter. One action
must also be defined when the response is defined. Actions define
commands to be run when the response is used with a condition and the
condition occurs. The action defines days of the week when the action
can be used, the time of day for those days of the week, the script or command
to be run, what type of event causes the command to be run, the expected
return code of the script or command, and whether to keep standard
output. The days and times are paired so that different times can be
specified for different days.
The chresponse command can be used to add actions to a response
or to remove actions from a response. A response must always have at
least one action defined. Monitoring can be started by using the
startcondresp command. The startcondresp command
links a response to a condition if they are not already linked.
- Response
- The unique name of the new response to be created.
- -c Existing_response
- Copies an existing response. Links with conditions are not
copied.
- -d Days_of_week
-
Specifies the days of the week when the action being defined can be
run. Days_of_week and Time_of_day together define
the interval when the action can be run.
Enter the numbers of the days separated by a plus sign (+) or as a range of
days separated by a hyphen (-). More than one Days_of_week
parameter can be specified, but the parameters must be separated by a comma
(,). The number of Days_of_week parameters specified must
match the number of Time_of_day parameters specified. The
default is all days. If no value is specified but a comma is entered,
the default value is used. The numbers of the days follow:
- 1
- Sunday
- 2
- Monday
- 3
- Tuesday
- 4
- Wednesday
- 5
- Thursday
- 6
- Friday
- 7
- Saturday
- -e a | r | b
- Specifies the type of event that causes the action being defined to
run:
- a
- Event
- r
- Rearm event
- b
- Both event and rearm event
The default is event (a flag).
- -h
- Writes the command's usage statement to standard output.
- -n Action
- Specifies the name of the action being defined. Only one action can
be defined when the response is created. Use the chresponse
command to add more actions to the response.
- -o
- Directs all standard output from Action_script to the audit
log. The default is not to keep standard output. Standard error
is always directed to the audit log.
- -r Return_code
- Specifies the expected return code for Action_script. If
the expected return code is specified, the actual return code of
Action_script is compared to the expected return code. A
message is written to the audit log indicating whether they match. If
the -r flag is not specified, the actual return code is
written to the audit log, and no comparison is performed.
- -s Action_script
- Specifies the fully qualified path for the script or command to run for
the action being defined. See the man pages for
logevent, notifyevent, and wallevent for
descriptions of the predefined response scripts provided with the
application.
- -t Time_of_day
- Specifies the time range when Action can be run, consisting of
the start time followed by the end time, separated by a hyphen.
Days_of_week and Time_of_day together define the
interval when the action can be run.
The time is in 24-hour format (HHMM) where the first two digits
represent the hour and the last two digits represent the minutes. The
start time must be less than the end time because the time is specified by day
of the week. More than one Time_of_day parameter can be
specified, but the parameters must be separated by a comma (,). The
number of Days_of_week parameters specified must match the number
of Time_of_day parameters specified. The default value is
0000-2400. If no value is specified but a comma is entered, the default
value is used.
- -T
- Writes the command's trace messages to standard error. For
your software-service organization's use only.
- -V
