7.2.8 Custom Check
This check allows users to run a nominated custom script with nominated arguments whose return value
is used as an Auto-Response trigger event:
Click on Custom Check as the Check Condition.
Create an executable trigger check script file e.g. /etc/config/test.sh
#!/bin/sh
logger "A test script"
logger Argument1 = $1
logger Argument2 = $2
logger Argument3 = $3
logger Argument4 = $4
if [ -f /etc/config/customscript.0 ]; then
rm /etc/config/customscript.0
exit 7
fi
touch /etc/config/customscript.0
exit 1
Refer to the online FAQs for a sample web page html check and other script file templates.
Enter the Script Executable file name (e.g. /etc/config/test.sh).
Set the Check Frequency (i.e. the time in seconds between re-running the script) and the Script
Timeout (i.e. the maximum run-time for the script).
Specify the Successful Return Code. An Auto-Response is triggered if the return code from the
script is not this value.
Enter Arguments that are to be passed to the script (e.g. with a web page html check script,
these Arguments might specify the web page address/DNS and user logins).
Check Save Auto-Response.
