A number of people have asked for my wee scripts that show whether
NetView is alive or not.  nv_daemon_check.sh simply echos out an
ovstatus - uncomment the 2 Nways lines if you also have the Nways
products.

nv_daemon_fail.sh does a similar test but checks whether any daemons are
down and uses ovxbeep to put up a beeping window if any are dead. (You
may need to add DISPLAY variables to your ovxecho, depending on your
situation).

As you can see, I use a temporary file that I normally put in
/usr/OV/conf/<client_name>.  The reason for the scripts is that I then
create Tivoli Tasks and Jobs that can then go on an operators Tivoli
Desktop.

Nothing like rocket science but if it helps anyone, you're welcome!

Regards, Jane
