    Shawn,

    You're really asking an RMC question.

    What you need is a condition and then a response.

    Here is a script I use. I use a modified syslogevent and notifyevent based
    on IBM's supplied notifyevent.

    This script monitors paging space and / /var /tmp and /audit filesystems.

    Below 50% utilization I email and syslog, and above 50% I email, syslog and
    page. You can change that.

    There is an RMC redbook too.

    This should get you going:

    # cat mkrmc
    #!/bin/ksh

    . /.profile

    mail='E-mail root anytime'
    page='PBH Page event anytime'
    slog='PBH Syslog event anytime'

    mkresponse -n "Page message" \
    -d 1-7 \
    -t 0000-2400 \
    -s "/usr/local/pacificare/rmc/notifyevent $KEVIN_CELL" \
    -e b \
    -r 0 \
    "$page"

    mkresponse -n "Syslog message" \
    -d 1-7 \
    -t 0000-2400 \
    -s "/usr/local/pacificare/rmc/syslogevent" \
    -e b \
    -r 0 \
    "$slog"

    for pct in 25 50 75 85 90 95 100; do

      mkcondition -r "IBM.Host" \
      -e "PctTotalPgSpUsed > $pct" \
      -E "PctTotalPgSpUsed < $pct" \
      -d "More than $pct percent of total paging space in use." \
      -D "Less than $pct percent of total paging space in use." \
      -S "i" \
      -m "l" "PBH Paging percent space used $pct"

      if (( $pct > 50 ));then
        startcondresp "PBH Paging percent space used $pct" \
        "$mail" \
        "$slog" \
        "$page"
      else
        startcondresp "PBH Paging percent space used $pct" \
        "$mail" \
        "$slog"
      fi

      for fs in root audit tmp var; do

        if [[ $fs = root ]]; then
          fs=""
        fi

        mkcondition -r "IBM.FileSystem" \
        -e "PercentTotUsed > $pct" \
        -E "PercentTotUsed < $pct" \
        -d "More than $pct percent of total space in use." \
        -D "Less than $pct percent of total space in use." \
        -s "Name == \"/$fs\"" \
        -S "i" \
        -m "l" "PBH /$fs percent space used $pct"

        if (( $pct > 50 ));then
          startcondresp "PBH /$fs percent space used $pct" \
          "$mail" \
          "$slog" \
          "$page"
        else
          startcondresp "PBH /$fs percent space used $pct" \
          "$mail" \
          "$slog"
        fi
      done

    done

    Subject: [aix-l] anyone RSCT savy?

    I would like to run a custom script when a filesystem gets to 75% full.
    However, I cannot find a response that will fire a script off.

    biermans@sf1n03en4:/home/biermans > lsresponse
    Displaying response information:
    ResponseName
    "Broadcast event on-shift"
    "E-mail root off-shift"
    "E-mail root anytime"
    "Log event anytime"
    "Informational notifications"
    "Warning notifications"
    "Critical notifications"
    "Generate SNMP trap"

    I'm just learing about rsct so its likely I'm just overlooking
    something. Can I create a custom response that will run a script?
