<P><FONT SIZE=2>> If it takes that script more than a few seconds (even up to 30)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> it will cause those annoying numkilled things. (once i see a test</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> that takes more than 60 seconds, i stop it.. because that shouldn't</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> happen).</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>In my book, test of a networked service that takes 30 seconds</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to complete is the same thing as failed service ;-).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> i have snmp support already. you can't do temp trends via snmp?</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>Two things here :-). There is no documentation on how to actually use SNMP in Sysmon :-).</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>Second - yes, you can check the temp itself, but can you check whether it has risen for 5 degrees in past 30 minutes (trend to rise)? Or if badwidth usage has started going up, etc.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> well, this would be easy to do, i'm just paranoid about</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> people shooting themselves in the foot with it then coming to me and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> saying "why does YYY happen", then i say "your external </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> program sucks".</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>As I mentioned - I understand this, but I'm looking at this not with</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>programmer, but user's eyes :-)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> actually, i'd probally just do this:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> object extcheck {</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> type ext;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> exec "/tmp/check";</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> exit-failure 0;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> exit-success 25;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> contact "joe@foo.bar";</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> };</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>Actually, that's the way I'd like to see it, too :-)</FONT>
</P>
