In this example, we monitor the state of system patches and report if they are not installed.
The PatchesSystemNotExistWarning script might send an alert message like the following example:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PIKT ALERT
Fri Mar 8 08:40:01 2002
athens2
WARNING:
PatchesSystemNotExistWarning
Report the absence of critical system patches
patch 109320-04 not installed!
patch 108869-12 not installed!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PatchesSystemNotExistWarning makes reference to the =patches_system_obj macro, which resolves to the name of the PatchesSystem.obj file. The script follows.

output mail "patch $patch not installed!"
endif
