Linux Shell Error Handling
The logevent command is provided in the Linux agent, so any Linux computer with the
agent installed has local access to logevent.
Similar to Visual Basic script, Linux provides a powerful method to track error values.
When running scripts on Linux, use logevent to report the status to the server after you
have used the built-in mechanisms to retrieve errors.
The following script contains an example of error handling on Linux:
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/altiris/deployment/adlagent/bin
grep foo foo.txt
ERRVAL = $?
if [ $ERRVAL -ne 0 ]; then
logevent -c:$ERRVAL -l:3 -ss:“error executing grep"
fi;
