HI Steve

One solution I've seen is to set up a remote outqueue on the iseries that
sends your prints - like your WRKACTJOB output - to a unix box. As long as
you have a job on the other end (i.e. theunix box) handling spool files as
they arrive you can do all your parsing and paging from that unix or linux
box. 

Just another option.

Evan Harris

For the sake of completeness in this discussion for the archives, there seem
to be two nagios iSeries plugins:

nas400plugin:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nas400plugin/
http://www.mcpressonline.com/tips-techniques/i5/os/techtip-monitoring-your-s
ystem-i5-with-nagios.html

check_iseries:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/check_iseries/
http://www.stic-online.de/stic/html/as400en.html


I'm sure I'll be testing one of them soon, so I'll let you know how it goes.
FYI, looks like both of them are just telnetting in and parsing the results,
so basically following the same model I was trying to do. I bet all us Linux
folk drive you midseries guys crazy!
