Notes for Linux

1. To receive the forwarded alarm messages, a user must be logged 

onto the Linux system console. If no user is logged on, the forwarded 
alarm messages are not saved. This means that they will not be 
output the next time a user logs onto the system console.

2. Because with Linux systems the user is logged onto a virtual system 

console, they can either use graphical interfaces (GUI session, e.g. 
Gnome or KDE) or the command line interface (CLI session). The 
appearance of the layout depends on this.

With a CLI session, the logged-on user receives the forwarded alarm 
message as a plain-text message.

With a GUI session, the forwarded alarm message is output in a (non-
modal) pop-up window.

3. The forwarding service uses the database under /var/run/utmp to 

obtain information on the users connected to the system console. The 
entries in the database should therefore be correct. 
If a graphics session is started on the system console with the 

 

program, the necessary entries are not made under /var/run/utmp. 
The forwarded alarms are then not output.
To receive the forwarded alarm messages as pop-up messages on 
the ServerView management station, the Linux operating system 
should begin in graphics mode (runlevel 5) after a system start.
The forwarding service does not forward alarms to Xconsoles.
