You can create your own external script to perform a test and report status to the Big Brother BBDISPLAY server. In general, these tests are run by the client software, which then sends the results to the BBDISPLAY and BBPAGER servers.
There is one change you must make on the server to enable notification for an external test. You must define a numeric code for the test name in the svcerrlist variable in etc/bbwarnsetup.cfg. For example, if your test name is ORA, you could update svcerrlist to include ORA:150. By default, this will cause a notification whenever the status color is red.
Note. For instructions on setting up external tests on a Windows client computer, see the Windows Client online help.
Note. There are some community-produced scripts at www.deadcat.net. In most cases these scripts contain a readme file that tell you how to install and configure them. These scripts are not supported by Quest.
