Netview "autosupervision"

[Luc BARNOUIN AIRSYS-ATM SSD/TCE-TAP <Luc.L.B.BARNOUIN@FR.AIRSYSATM.THOMSON-CSF.COM>]

Hi everybody,

I am currently running TME10 Netview 4.1E for Digital Unix (but intend to 
migrate to TME10 NV5.1 for Digital Unix as soon as available). One of our needs 
is to detect any Netview internal deamons failure, and either warn the operator 
for manual action (ovstatus, ovstop/ovstart) or perform some automatic action 
(stop/restart the failed deamon, stop/restart NV, reboot the computer, ...).
Is there any mechanism within ovspmd to implement such a facility? Has anyone 
already tryied to perform some kind of "autosupervision" of Netview and 
associated applications (we have developped our own WELL_BEHAVED deamons, 
interfaced with gtm APIs, to manage a specific topology)?

Thanks for any solution or investigation tracks.
