NAME

sendevent - A rather naive and incomplete remake of the "sendevent" tool.

SYNOPSIS

sendevent [options]

OPTIONS

-E event | --event event

Specify the event to be sent. See man page for list of possible events.

-J jobname | --job jobname

Specify the target job of this event (if any). The job name must be fully qualified, i.e. no wildcards may be used.

-T timespec | --time timespec

Specify the start time for the event, i.e. the event will be queued and send by the system when the specified time is reached. Timespec should look like: 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS'.

-s status | --status status

Specify the job status for the event CHANGE_STATUS. See man page for a list of possible states.

--dsn dsn

Specify the AutoSys' database dsn to connect to. COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this option does not exist in CA's original sendevent tool.

-S server | --server server

Specify the AutoSys' database server to connect to. Either this option or the dsn option above must be given. Please note, that when specifying this server option, a Sybase database backend is assumed. COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this option does not exist in CA's original sendevent tool.

-U user | --user user

Specify the database user. With an out-of-the-box AutoSys installation, the default user should work. COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this option does not exist in CA's original sendevent tool.

-P password | --password password

Specify the database password. With an out-of-the-box AutoSys installation, the default password should work. COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this option does not exist in CA's original sendevent tool.

--help

Print a brief help message and exits.

--man

Prints the manual page and exits.

DESCRIPTION

This program will send an event a la CA's original sendevent tool. Please be aware that this tool does not perform the security checks like AutoSys' original sendevent, i.e. it allows you to send events to virtually all jobs & boxes on an AutoSys instance - regardless if you have been allowed to or not by the job creator.
