This is exactly what I'm doing, and it works quite well. I created a named pipe, and let the TSM server use that as a filetextexit (use the APPEND option). On the other end of the pipe a Perl-script is running, which reads from the pipe and takes actions depending on the messages it receives. Beware that such a setup could result in unwanted signals to the TSM server (SIGPIPE). Test this well. -- Jurjen Oskam "E-mail has just erupted like a weed, and instead of considering what to say when they write, people now just let thoughts drool out onto the screen." - R. Craig Hogan
