Suppose you want to use the script echoUsage.sh as a medium severity alert action for the Teradata system PROD1, weekends only, and track alerts in the Alert Viewer portlet. echoUsage.sh opens the program that monitors the performance of your system. The script reads in any arguments that appear on the command-line and runs the program using these arguments as run-time parameters. The program output includes information about the space usage on PROD1 if the current perm space that is used in any database on the PROD1 system exceeds 80%.
  1. Verify the Teradata Notification Service is running on the Linux server:
    1. Use the following Linux command to validate that the service is running correctly:
      /etc/init.d/tdnotification status
    2. If the result is not "running," use: /etc/init.d/tdnotification start
  2. Copy the script echoUsage.sh to the Linux server at : /opt/teradata/client/cam/tdnotification/usrcmd/echoUsage.sh.
