zmtrigger.pl

Post by eddyhkim »

I can't seem to figure this one out. zmtrigger.pl just hangs regardless of the arguments on the command line.

Is it a daemon that listens for events? Or is it the interface to trigger events?

zmtrigger is designed to run as a daemon and so will both listen for external events and/or create them as a result of ZM alarms. You do have to configure your connectors for your particular requirements though. As shipped zmtrigger.pl just has a few example connectors.
