Enabling the ftalarm command

This section does not apply to Solaris where a different mechanism is used, see section “Solaris SMF”.

If you want to be informed about the frequency of failed FT requests, it is advisable to use the ftalarm command for this purpose see the manual "openFT (Unix and Windows systems) - Command Interface".

If desired, you can also have the ftalarm command automatically started at system startup by inserting a corresponding line with the ftalarm command in the startup and shutdown file /var/openFT/std/etcinit/openFTinst and/or in the startup and shutdown files of other instances.
