Question,
I would like to setup a PCM configuration in which PCM monitors it's
own syslog messages.
The system is running ULTRIX V4.3, PCM V1.5.
I tried some of the hints i picked up in note 593, but i can't get it
to work.
This is what i have done sofar,
In the configuration editor i created a system called dcuws2 and
assigned it a pseudo terminal.
In the command section i entered 'tail /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog'
Database verication gives no errors.
But after reconfiguring the icon comes up grey and from the system
status i read 'Open Failure'
Any hints would be much appriciated,
Arthur.

Arthur,
try 'tail -f /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog'
Without the -f option, the tail program just exits in the
pseudoterminal and PCM gathers from this that it has lost the
connection. The -f option causes the tail ptogram not to terminate.

Dave,
You're right about the missing -f switch.
But this wasn't the real problem. In the meanwhile i found that a
absolute path to the tail command had to be provided.
Thus : "/usr/ucb/tail -f /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog" is the correct
command to enter.
Thanks,
Arthur
