Test Policy by Simulating Messages

Event policy can be difficult to test because messages have so many variables that are not easily duplicated unless generated by an actual event. The cawto command, which sends a message to the console, lets you test message policy by sending a message without creating the associated event.

To test policy by simulating messages, open a command-line interface, and enter the cawto command using the options for simulating messages.
