Note:- "at" command entry will 

be created for auto scheduling of 

"nvsniffer" for Netview version 

7.1.3 and above.

 
NetView contains an event browser that displays all 

NetView specific as well as remote object traps and 

events. However, the implementation of some Xerox 

SNMP agents does not generate traps. The printer status 

information must be requested from the printer using a 
polling mechanism. Then the desired trap is generated 

locally on behalf of the printer. 
The polling interval is set at installation to 10 minutes. 

That is, every 10 minutes the printers on the network will 

be polled for status. 
This function is accomplished through the operating 
systems scheduler.  
To access the scheduler in windows: 
Type at at the dos prompt.  
You will see a line of the form: 
nvsniffer -t 1 -

c %NV_DRIVE%\usr\ov\conf\xrxsniffer.conf -
r <polling interval> -s 
You can change this polling interval to any value by 

removing the event in the at command and running the 

nvsniffer command with the new polling interval. 
 
To access the scheduler in UNIX: 
At a command prompt use this command 
at –l   
You will see a list of files in the scheduler queue. 
Note the job ID numbers.  
For each job number run 
at –l -v 
Look for the job with the xrxsniffer entry 
nvsniffer -t 1 -c  /usr/ov/conf/xrxsniffer.conf -

r <polling interval> -s –t 1 –T 45 
You can edit the polling inteval by removing this job and 

running the nvsniffer command with the new polling 
interval.
