ipscan IPSCAN counts the number of files caught in certain queues and displays these and the totals for the last 2 scans. The first 5 files in that queue are also displayed. Parameter file tables/sys/SCAN is used to define which queues in spool to monitor. Optionally two levels can be adjusted to give a total where a warning is triggered and one where an error is triggered. In either case a message is displayed and the program beeps. A script file can also be optionally started. The syntax of the SCAN Parameter file is : ; comment banner:rn--QUEUE----TOTALS-this-last-before defwarn:"** Warning total exceeded **" deferror:"** Error total exceeded **" Where .. banner: Heading or banner printed at the top of the screen endpage: End of page printed at the bottom default-warning: or defwarn: Warning message default-warning: or deferror: Error message default-delay:2 or defdelay:2 only log the error (or run script) after the 2nd scan For each queue, the syntax is (each on a new line) : ; just scan 2brouted queue:2brouted ; for 2go, BEEP if more than 20 files and run script if over 50 queue:2go warn:20:BEEP error:50:/fip/local/move2go queue:woops error:1:"/fip/local/move2go $h:$n:$b" ; if the queue is NOT under /fip/spool, start with a '/' queue:/data1/fpo/opi/rubbish The subkeywords for 'queue' are (all optional) warn:(number of file):(optional script) Use this total to flag a warning and (optionally) run a script error:(number of file):(optional script) Use this total to flag an error and (optionally) run a script log: If the number of files exceeds the error total, write an error to the Fip ALL log. delay:(positive number) Only log/run script after the nth scan has passed You can ignore the names of certain files and/or sub-queues with the ignore: parameter. These take effect for ALL queues. By default, if a sub-queue called '.rsrc' or begins 'Desktop' are ignored. 3 ignores are permitted. ignore:NetworkTrash ignore:G1SI05 Normally BEEP will do everytime the queue is over its total but the script is ONLY run once. To run this script every cycle if timed out rather than (default) on transition only - ie when times out and when recovers - use the 'everytime:' parameter on a line on its own. everytime: You can send the results of the scan to a Fip destination for further processing using the 'file:(destination)' parameter where destination is a valid DU in the USERS file. 'extra-fiphdr: (FipSeq) can be added to fill any non-standard fields. file:statussys extra-fiphdr:#SZ:hosta,hostb#XZ: If using the -d Daemon flag, the columns are automatically 'html-ified' with <tr><td> etc In this case, use something like : ; Column headings banner:<table>n<tr>n<td><td colspan=8>NumbersofsFiles</tr>n<tr>n<td>Directory Name</tr>n endpage:</table> Input flags are : -1 : single run then stop default: continuous or -b : do NOT beep on warning/error default: beep -c : No of Columns - ie last totals - default: 8 (was 3) maximum is 60 -d : daemon/service flag. Run in background to default: no generate show files for IPSVCE. This leaves the file in x/SCAN.(name of parameter file) forced uppercase. -f : name of parameter file in tables/sys default: SCAN -f and -z are the same -l : no of files to display per queue default: 5 -o : output folder default: /fip/spool/2go for file:destination Note this is only used if there is a 'file' parameter default: /fip/x for -d default: none for normal running as the file is displayed and not saved to disk -O : Start scan on this number of seconds off the minute. default:26 -Q : show script errors for error and warn default:ignore them -t : intervals between checks default: 60 secs -z : name of parameter file in tables/sys default: SCAN -f and -z are the same -v : print version no and exit. If 'ipscan' is being started by 'local/rc.fip' on reboot there is every chance there will be no shell and no environment set - and in particular, no PATH. So the full pathname of the script must be specified in the parameter file. Use double quotes around any script which needs added parameters or has spaces or other metacharaters in the name.
