I just did a quick test on my system and in-line actions execute only once
per event, using NetView 6.0.2
I suggest you call Support and get some help with your ruleset. I am
having hard time following the logic of what you have posted, and I have
never seen an in-line action execute more than once, so I don't know what
else to say.
You might have your script do something like this in addition to whatever
else it does so you have some kind of independent check on what is going
on:
echo `date` >> /usr/OV/log/inline.out
echo "hostname is " $NVATTR_2 >> /usr/OV/log/inline.out
echo $RANDOM >> /usr/OV/log/inline.out
This would give you the date/time stamp, followed by the hostname that the
Node Down is about, followed by a random number as a separator, in an
output file, so that you could see what trap was driving the script at the
time it executed. The date/time would allow you to go look at the
trapd.log and verify what trap drove the script. I offer this because I
don't think you are seeing what you think you are seeing in the nvcorrd
logs. I could be wrong, of course, but I have never seen anything like
what you describe.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Ruleset fo paging certain nodes afterhours
Hi Brain,
Do you have any idea why it is doing that??
I switched on logging with "nvcdebug -d rules/all", I can just see the
script is being run twice (in nvcorrd.alog), if I have another action
branch
off node down trap, it only executes once. I.e.
Event Stream-->node down trap--> Inline Action(execute
twice)-->Action(twice)--> Forward
\--> Action (execute once)--> Foward
I am reluctant to put the threshold node in the rule to filter the SAME
event, just in case node down happens for two DIFFERENT nodes at the same
time(same sec). Will that happen anyway?
thanks, Jack.

Jack,
I get the same sorta thing. I just put a threshold in there so that would
expect two before passing one of them..
dunno if this is right or not, but it does work for me...

Jack,
I assume that you are using ESE.automation to execute this rule....
You have a configuration problem. I have NEVER heard of this behavior!
Here is what I would check:
1. Check for duplicate entrys in /usr/OV/conf/ESE.automation
2. Did you import the ruleset into another ruleset being executed by
ESE.automation?
3. Check the forwardall.rs rule... did you put it in there for testing and
forget to remove it?
4. Is there a loop in your script?
5. Is anything else calling your script?
6. Is there a dynamic workspace with the rule applied?
7. Did you put it in your ruleset used to forward to TEC?
Best regards,
Don Davis

Subject: [NV-L] Ruleset fo paging certain nodes afterhours
Hi List,
I have a rule set as follows:
Event Stream --> node down trap --> Inline Action --> Action --> Forward
where Inline Action runs a script to check current time and hostname of
node
down,
then Action pages to a pager.
THE PROBELM: the Inline Action script is running TWICE, once straight after
another, then the Action (paging) runs twice as well. I do not know why!?
The reason why I have Inline Action is I only want to support certain nodes
for afterhours. So I run a script to check a hostname file and the current
time.
I have checked:
1. Options --> event configuration
2. My rule by having a branch off 'node down trap', that only executes
once.
Any ideas??
Thanks.
Jack.
