90 nodes?
It sounds way too big to me. Just what are you trying to do with it?
How on earth do you intend to test something that complicated?
You may need a ruleset if you want to do event matching or keep some events
off the display while letting others of the same type through. Merely
running a shell script as an automatic action in trapd.conf won't give you
that.
BTW, it is possible to combine shell scripts with your rulesets if you have
a script that is useful and does more than you can easily do using the
provided functions. That's what actions and in-line actions are for.

Subject: rulesets
Hi,
I wonder how many of you are using rulesets,
when it seems most task could be performed
with shell-scripts. Indeed when using netview
commands.
Is a ruleset a resource-pig compared to a shellscript?
Our ruleset would contain 90 templates when its
finished and I wonder if it maybe too big.
Thanks..
