8.3.1 Extending the RMS Event Handling Mechanism
The RMS event handling mechanism is open and extensible. New event types and
handlers for them can be added on a site-by-site basis. For example, you might run a
periodic file system status check on each node, execute a local cleanup script and post a
file system event to RMS if the free space in the file system dropped below a prescribed
level. The handler script could perform partition-wide or machine-wide cleanup and post
a notification of the problem via email or an SNMP message.
