NOTIFIER.CONFIG(4)                                          NOTIFIER.CONFIG(4)



NAME
     notifier.config - sysmon configuration file

DESCRIPTION
     The /usr/lib/sysmon/notifier.config file is used to configure the Desktop
     System Monitor (sysmon.)  Each line indicates a message that the System
     Monitor will watch for.  Typically when a message is found a notifier is
     created on the Desktop to alert the user and offer customized help for
     that message.

     There are eight fields in the configuration file each separated by a
     single space.  A # at the start of a line is a comment.

     enable    This field can be either ON or OFF.  OFF means the System
               Monitor will ignore this message.

     message   This field is a regular expression (see regex(3G)) enclosed in
               double quotes.  This denotes the message that the System
               Monitor will watch for.

     priority  This field indicates the priority that the message should have.
               The field should be one of (1-critical, 2-error, 4-warning, 6-
               info.)  This priority has nothing to do with the priority at
               which the message was originally created with using syslog(3C).

     source    This field indicates the message source that the message (see
               above) must come from.  The message source is usually the name
               of the program that is logging the message or "unix" for the
               Irix kernel.  Both the source and the message must match before
               the message is considered a match.  This field does not accept
               a regular expression.  It is not enclosed with double quotes.

     exec      Indicates the script to run when this message is seen.
               Currently this is always $DIALOG($LOCALHOST) which means run
               the script defined by the variable $DIALOG and pass it the
               variable $LOCALHOST as it's first argument.  These variables
               are defined in the /usr/lib/sysmon/notifier.define file.  Only
               one argument to the script is currently allowed.

     who       Used to indicate what user the script should run as.  In the
               past the script would be set that user id.  Now the only valid
               name is WMOWNER (which means whatever user is currently running
               the Desktop.)

     timeout   Duplicate messages that arrive in less than this much time are
               discarded.  This prevents a flood of messages.  The string
               "MIN" is always appended to indicate minutes.

     helpcard  When an error dialog is raised on the Desktop this help card
               can be shown to the user for additional assistance if the user
               clicks on the "help" button.  The format of this field is
               Book:Key where Book is the name of the help book and Key is the



                                                                        Page 1

     handled gracefully.  See the release notes for sysmon for other issues.
