Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Database tracking
at a former employer per damagement direction... we had a perl script named
pageme which was called by our monitoring scripts whenever they detected and
event that required the on-call DBA be paged. the author of pageme had the
forethought to add a nopage feature. it looked for a file called nopage in
a certain directory and did nothing if found. mysterious cron entries were
sometimes known to touch the nopage file as it was approaching bed time and
rm it in the morning. the frequency of these mysterious cron entries
increased as damagement's desire to page on events of questionable
importance increased

We were thinking of an automated message calling all damager types ... especially in the middle of the night ... in a very thick voice ... "Hello .. <name> this is your heartbeat calling, we have a problem !!"
As none of us had our résumé's ready, this idea was dropped unanimously.

Wow!
That definitely is one simple and elegant solution, Raj.
I wonder what you call when the alarm goes off, "heart-broken"? :)
