A number of people have expressed interest in a console logging script. Here
is enclosed an outline of such a script for AIX. It needs sprucing up and
error checking etc adding but runs OK as is.

# ADSM Activity log extraction script
#
# Cut down version of activity log extraction script
#
# Created 07/12/97 By N. Clayton
#
### Set up variables

DSMADMC="dsmadmc -id=UID -pass=PASS "



### Start console session as co process and store pid

$DSMADMC -cons |&
PID=$!

### Read initial messages from process. Number of lines may be dependant
upon release of ADSM so check.

read -p MESSAGE
read -p MESSAGE
read -p MESSAGE
read -p MESSAGE
read -p MESSAGE

### Take output from coprocess for a day

while [[ $SECONDS -lt 86390 ]]
do
    read -p MESSAGE
    TIME=`date "+%T"`
    DATE=`date "+%D"`

### See if there is more than one line to the message
### Note this still has problems with some messages that I?ll have to
### sort out later. It will split and message wth multiple .' into several

    EOM=`echo $MESSAGE | awk '{print (index($0,"."))}'`

### If so read extra lines until we have the full message

    while [[ $EOM -eq 0 ]]
    do
        read -p EXTRA
   MESSAGE=$MESSAGE" "$EXTRA
        unset EXTRA
        EOM=`echo $MESSAGE | awk '{print (index($0,"."))}'`
    done

### Get the message ID of the message

    MSGID=`echo $MESSAGE | awk '{print $1}'`

### Perform actions depending upon the message in the log file

    echo $DATE $TIME $MESSAGE >> $FULLLOG_FILE
    case "$MSGID" in

    ( ANR0402I | ANR0405I ) ;;  ### Admin session start and end.

    ( ANR0400I ) ;;             ### Client session start

    ( AND0403I )                ### Client session end
             /usr/adsm/server/cron/log_session_performance ;;

    ( ANR8337I | ANR8468I )     ### Mount or dismount of tape
             echo $DATE $TIME $MESSAGE >> $LOG_FILE
             /usr/adsm/server/cron/log_mounts $DATE $TIME $MESSAGE ;;

    ( ANR1341I | ANR1340I )     ### Scratch addition or deletion
             echo $DATE $TIME $MESSAGE >> $LOG_FILE ;;
            /usr/adsm/server/cron/log_scratch ;;

    (*)                         ### Other message
             echo $DATE $TIME $MESSAGE >> $LOG_FILE ;;

    esac
done

### Kill coprocess and then end

kill $PID
exit 0
