Netview - Maintenance of Nodes

[deadbeef]

Hi,

Netview 6.0.2on AIX 4.3.3

Here is the problem:
We don't have TEC, so all our SNMP Trap reception on Netview start a Perl
script.
In our script we have a redirection to a maintenance log file.
So if the server have a reboot scedule we put that schedule in the
maintenance file.
When the server interface goes Red ( Down) it start our script that verify
the maintenance file.
Because the server is in maintenance, no alarm goes to a pager.
BUT if the server has a problem and don't go up again, nobody will be
alerted of it.

What i want to do:
I want to do a repetition of the "down event" of an interface status.
So if an interface goes down, I would like to repeat the down status a
second, third, etc. time after a delay period.
That way the server will go out of his maintenance period, and if there is
a problem with that server (server is still down) the script will page
someone.

Anyone with ideas ?

Thanks

Ben
