Create a client schedule in each domain that does absolutely nothing at,
say, 3:00 PM with a duration of 10 minutes, and associate all your nodes to
it.  (Or better yet, have it run a script that forks, sleeps so the
scheduler can report completion, then bounces the scheduler. Heh, heh.)
Then have a cron'd script query events to see what missed that 3:00PM
schedule, email, page, fax etc. it to you.

Subject: Query client connectivity


To all:

Is there a way to query client connectivity?  What I mean is:  Is there
a way to see if at least basic connectivity is there (i.e.  a scheduler
running)?  It would be nice to run a script just before I leave from
work that lets me know that at least a scheduler is running on each
machine, and not have to wait for the daily report that I get every
morning to realize that 5 or 6 machines were missed during the night.
Does TSM make something like this?  A third party?  Do I make my own?
Any help would be appreciated!

TIA.
