Reboot or Power Failure - Email Notification

Can OS X Server 10.4 be setup to send me an email when it restarts, reboots, or has any other issues?
Message was edited by: James Rothschild

Yeah, I have a setup that works fairly well.
It's done using launchd
I have a folder called EmailForPrint (you could call it anything, this notifies me to restart the print service after a restart)
That folder contains two files:
StartupParameters.plist and
EmailForPrint (this is a script)
I then drop that folder in the server's /System/Library/StartupItems/ folder
This is my StartupParameters.plist file:
Description = "Sends an Email";
Provides = ("Sends an Email");
OrderPreference = "Late";
This is the script that is executed by launchd:
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.common
echo `hostname` rebooted on `date`. | mail -s 'Server Restart Notification' [email protected];
Just set the permissions as the other items in the System/Library/StartupItems folders.

Failure Email Notification

Original post by William Culley
8:29am, May 17
Hello,
I am trying to setup an email notification when a task that uses an agent fails, but choosing the Failure Email option for the task does not appear to work. I've tested the email template on other task events like start and it works. So I know the email template is correct.
I read through the documentation and it states the Failure Email notifies when an external task fails. Does this mean a task that invokes an agent does not have the option to send a failure notification?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
The email should fire in the even of failure of an outbound message. Is your failure for an outbound or an inbound message?- Ed

Hey Ed,
I believe we've figured this one out. We had the failure email being set at the task level and not the agent level. So the agent failure did not equate to a task failure and we were not receiving the failure email.Thanks for you assistance,Bill

Hi Bill,
We have a related issue to this which might provide some useful information. By turning it on at the Agent level, it will also fire when an inbound update fails. Where you are integrating tickets to external systems, we've found it's possible for updates to be made to an already-closed ticket in the remote system which tries to send an update after the Requisition has already closed.This triggers a failure notification for us, and the 3 failures we experienced were outnumbered by about the 300 false errors we received daily. We tried configuring it at the task level, but that is not apparently what the function is for and we have an open case for it.Thanks,

Send a Failure Email Notification After Load Plan execution in ODI 11g

Hi Experts,
Greetings!
I am trying to send an email if any of the step fails during Load Plan execution. Irrespective of the failed object, only 1 email should be sent to the Administrator. I unable to do this. Mails are getting sent for the no of times the no of object fails. For eg if 10 out of 100 steps fails, 10 emails are getting sent. I need to send only 1 email.
I am using ODISendMail.
I have tried various combinations however, all in Vain.
For instance:
root step --> Exeception Step (Send Failure Email) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore). Using this because, I dont want to stop the load plan on the step failure.
Interface1: Exeception Step (Blank) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore).
Interface2: Exeception Step (Blank) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore).
Exception not getting executed.
Please help.
Regards,
Andy

Thanks SH.
I tried your suggestion as per below.
1. Created global variable "v_cnt" with default value "0"
2. Created package "pkg_v_cnt" to increment the variable by 1
3. created package "pkg_sendError_Email" to check if v_cnt > 0 then Send Error Email.
For Instance, the loan plan looks like this:
root step --> Exeception Step (pkg_v_cnt) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Raise)
Interface1: Exeception Step (pkg_v_cnt) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore).
Interface2: Exeception Step (pkg_v_cnt) and Execption behaviour (Run Exception and Ignore).
Send Error Email (pkg_sendError_Email)
The issue here is that, the variables are not getting the incremented value and hence unable to send email . The variable value remains "0" even after execution of the exception steps when both interfaces fails.
Pls help.
Thanks,
Andy

[SOLVED] How to cancel systemd-fsck during reboot after power failure.

Hello
If power fails (or if I, for any reason, force a physical shutdown ) on my computer, it will display during boot :
systemd-fsck[171] : arch_data was not cleanly unmounted, check forced
And then hangs for a long time (10 minutes ) while checking arch_home partition, wich is a 1T ext4 partition.
then finish the boot.
Sometimes i want this behavior, but i may need to have my computer up and running as fast as possible, and i don't seem to be able to cancel this fsck.
Ctrl+C, or escape have no effect.
How to allow cancelation of system-fsck for this boot, postponing it for the next boot ?
my fstab :

Maybe you can add a menu item to the grub boot menu so you can pick it from the menu instead of editing the grub line by hand?
I'm using syslinux, but I can have menu items that only differ in e.g. 'quiet' parameter:
APPEND root=/dev/sda3 rw init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd quiet
APPEND root=/dev/sda3 rw init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
Everything else is the same.

I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

APC UPS: Xseve not rebooting after a power failure

Xserve 2.26 GHZ OS X server 10.6.4
Energy Saver-UPS connected USB to APC smart UPS set to shut down 5 min before UPS out of power.
On a power failure (lots these days in the islands!), the Xserve does not reboot upn power restore.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you install software for the Less-Interruptable Power Supply (LIPS), or are you running with the integrated capabilities? (There is add-on software that can be installed used here, though the integrated LIPS support within Mac OS X Server works correctly with Mac OS X Server 10.5 and 10.6 and APC Smart-UPS devices on the Xserve boxes I deal with.)
Was the key lock engaged on the server when you set this up?
Definitely check the rack LIPS configuration settings too, as some of these LIPS boxes are seriously programmable.
The settings are visible via the pmset and ipmitool tools; [here are pmset and ipmitool examples|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1045], as well as some information on sending email and such.

Variable to get instance failure error message in Email Notification

Hi All,
I send email notifications on insatnce failure of Scheduled reports by configuring notification option in CMC.
I would like to send the Error message for insatnce failure in the message content.
Is there any way to achieve this ?Any dynamic system variable like %SI_STARTTIME% available for this ?
I am looking for error message as we see when click status in Instance History of a report.
"Error Message: The date for the prompt 'Enter Issue Start Date:' is invalid. (WIS 10706) "
Thanks in Advance
Bilahari

Hi Bilahari,
It is not possible at present with the product as it stands out of the XI3.1 or BI4.0 to email the error message with the schedule email notification.
I would suggest that you log this requirement in the SAP Ideas Place:
Idea Place (https://ideas.sap.com) allows customers to log Enhancement request themselves without the need to contact Support and work more closely with Product Management.
Here your idea can be evaluated by other customers and voted upon, prior to our Product Group organization deciding on the idea as a possible enhancement.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

How to log RSYNC succes/failure in my shell file & send email notification

Email notification on Cube load completion/failure

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a trigger that will send an email on the success/failure of a data load. It seems that I can only use cube members in the where and when clauses for triggers however. Is there an easy way to get email notification from the cube builds? Currently we are using AIS to schedule and build the cubes and it doesn't provide an obvious way to do this. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

The TechRef has good examples for "almost" every command or statement.
What you need to do is to write MaxL script file to load your data and execute Calculation/Aggregation and if it fails anywhere you can log that to an error file, then call that script from a batch file that sends an email at the end, you can use a command line email applications such as Clemail. You also can put a condition in your batch file to send an email only in case of failure file exists.
here are few steps you may follow:
-select your application and database
-unlock all objects
-disable connections and log out users
-build your dimension, if you do build your outline before you load your data**not necessary**
-load your data
-execute Calculation/Aggregation
- enable DB connection
- define your label at the end of MaxL Script
in your batch file:
- define your parameters that you are going to pass to your MaxL script
- call your MaxL script: essmsh "fileName"
- call your email application
if you are not familiar with batch scripting, Google for some examples.
hope this helps.

Email notification not working from Server Monitor (for power outages etc.)

I have my email address entered in the notifications fields for power on Server Monitor. I tried pulling the plug (it's on a UPS), which it did notice but it never sent any emails. How do I debug this? Where is the SMTP settings or whatever is needed? Have people gotten the email notifications from Server Monitor to work?

Have you checked your mail filter, maybe the notification got mistakenly marked as spam ?
thank you for your reply! Is this working for you - are you getting notifications? My spam folder doesn't have any of these. Where did you set up the SMTP info for this? I don't see this anywhere. On the web, at
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21298?viewlocale=en_US
it looks like you have to tell it how to send the emails in Message.framework:
The Message.framework looks in two places for a way to send email. The first
is that it looks for an SMTP server configured in the Email tab of Internet
preferences. The other way is to use an email account configured in Mail.
the question is, which user's .plist file for internet preferences or for Mail - which user's info is it using to send the notifications?

After upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4S except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried rebooting?

Following upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4s except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried a wipe and reinstall, I've tried hard rebooting, I tried erasing all of my music and reinstalling it, I checked my Do Not Disturb, and I tried the AssistiveTouch mute button. Nothing. I can't even play music through bluetooth or headphones. Can anyone help please as its driving me mad!

I experience this problem too. I am using iPhone4 and just upgrade it to iOS7. And now I can not make outgoing call. I checked all the setting, and nothing wrong. I even replaced my sim card with the new one, still can not help.
I read this link

A UPS model that works with Mac Native software to do a graceful shutdown and automatic restart during a power failure.

I've tried 3 UPS's (2 APC and one TripLite) that state they are OSX compatible, however, they do not fully respond to the native osx setting in (system Preferences/ Energy Saver/ UPS/Start up automatically after a power failure). This is what happens:
During a power outage, the OS does a graceful shutdown, but does not reboot when power is restored.
Apparently, the UPS is not notified to turn off during the shut down process. The power (on-Off-On) cycle is required by the mac to restart.
Trip lite tech support says they have software that works with Windows and linux to do this, but not mac.
I've tried two older APC UPS's, One Smart UPS1500 and a Back-UPS 1500 with the same result on two different servers and one iMac.
At this point I'm looking for a make and model of a UPS that does work. If anyone can verify a make and model that actually does this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Its a simple test, just pull the plug on your UPS, wait for the system to shut down, and then plug the UPS back in. The system should reboot.

Many of the CyberPower UPS units are compatible. Checkout the home solutions on this page: http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems.html
