Parameters 

-a number           The maximum number of messages that can be in all
                    input and output Queues, awaiting RTS or MTA
                    processing without generating a warning.

                    Default:  100. 

-d percent          The maximum percentage usage that can be made of the
                    disk on which the X.400 messages are spooled without
                    generating a warning.

                    Default:  85.

-e minutes          The number of minutes after which an entry in the
                    error log will not be warned against.  This is so
                    that old entry in the error log does not continue to
                    generate a warning infinitely.

                    Default:  120.

-f kbytes           The maximum number of kilobytes that any log file in
                    the /usr/spool/x400/log directory can grow to without
                    generating a warning.

                    Default:  4096.

-i number           The maximum number of messages that can be in the MTA
                    input queue without generating a warning.

-o number           The maximum number of messages that can be in one of
                    the MTA's output queues before generating a warning.

                    Default:  25. 

-p seconds          The time period between making checks for the various
                    warning conditions.  This is applicable in continuous
                    mode only.

                    Default:  10. 

-s                  Single-shot mode.

                    Default:  Continuous mode.

-t seconds          Time to read warning and action message.  In
                    continuous mode, all warnings will be given in each
                    cycle.  The messages will be displayed for this
                    number of seconds before moving on to the next.

                    Default:  10.

-w minutes          The maximum number of minutes a message can wait in
                    an input or output queue without generating a warning
                    message.

                    Default:  60.

Description 

The x4monitor utility checks various internal queues and disk usage to
see that thresholds have not been exceeded.  It also checks the error log
for recent entries.  Any potential problem is displayed and a possible
action suggested for a certain time-period.  x4monitor can be used in
continuous or single-shot mode.  In continuous mode the command will
check for various early-warning conditions and display a warning and
action for each problem it finds.  In single-shot mode only the first
warning and action will be displayed.  This mode is designed for remote
use so many systems can be monitored from a central point by periodic
remote execution of the x4monitor command on each system.

Example 

     x4monitor -s
