alarms.cfg is a series of one or more Pikt scripts or alarm definitions (which may also refer to programs written in other script languages). Use Pikt scripts for system monitoring, to report and fix problems, to enhance system security, and to handle all sorts of routine system administration tasks.
It should be emphasized that you may use the Pikt script language, or employ the one you favor (such as Perl, Python, the shell languages, or whatever) in your script definitions. Use the right tool for the job.
The top-level alarms.cfg might reference #include files, for example:
- accounts_alarms.cfg
(passwd problems,
pwck,
shadow problems,
passwd/shadow crosscheck,
group problems,
grpck)
- security_alarms.cfg
(checksum differences,
new startup scripts,
ctime changes,
mtime changes,
sulog scan,
wtmp)
- files_system_alarms.cfg
(file disappearances,
unwanted files,
file size changes,
file updates,
root core file)
- disks_alarms.cfg
(inode shortages,
full disks,
clear tmp)
