Execution of Linux Applications That Do Not Write to Syslog

For a Linux application that does not write to syslog, run the application from a shell script with message logging.

Business Value:

With the message logging, your automation product can capture the logged messages and can take appropriate actions. Being able to see what your applications are doing helps ensure the availability of your business processes.

Additional Considerations:

To see the startup and termination of the application, include the following commands in the shell script:

logger application_name starting
application_name
logger application_name terminated

The following messages are available to your automation product:

LXLOG001I linux_system vm_host_node application_name starting
LXLOG001I linux_system vm_host_node application_name terminated
