4892.0. "Event Collector : auto restart sink after reboot ?" by TOSKI::HAYES () Thu Apr 15 1993 12:06

	Hi,


	We had a SUN sending events to my MCC Ultrix T1.3.1 
	equipped DECstation 5000/240 with the event collector am.

	Then, I rebooted my ultrix workstation and with
	DECNET transport we got a timeout doing mcc_evc_send
	and with UDPIP a "cannot access" type of error message.

	We figured out it was because the sinks were not started
	we restarted the sinks and it worked.

	My concern is :

	It will arrive on operational sites
	1- cannot we do like we did for alarm rules (auto enable...)
	
	2- A workaround is to add something in rc.local maybe
	to restart automatically the sinks after a reboot.
        WHERE (in what file) and WHAT must be added to automatically restart
	the sink ?
	


		Thanks in advance

    We had trouble starting the collection sink automatically in rc.local
    we only tried a simple script though called direct from rc.local and
    this seemed to fail, it may have been because other startup jobs were
    still running from rc.local.
    
    You could try doing it at the end or with a pause to let other things
    start, or by submitting a job to cron to start say 15 minutes after
    boot.
