Maintenance_Mode Rule

Hello All,

This rule is for maintenance of systems and when the administrator of the
box runs this script it sends a wpostemsg to the TEC saying that a
specified system has been put in maintenance mode.

Start Maintenance Mode Script:

##########################################################
########### DEFINE FILES AND VARIABLES HERE ##############
##########################################################
. /etc/Tivoli/lcf/1/lcf_env.sh
LOGFILE=/tmp/esm_start_maintenance.log.$(date +%y.%m.%d_%H:%M)

engineer_id=""
engineer_name=""

##########################################################
############## DEFINE FUNCTIONS HERE #####################
##########################################################


##########################################################
################# BEGINNING OF MAIN ######################
##########################################################
exec > $LOGFILE 2>&1


engineer_id=`lsuser -a gecos $SUDO_USER`
engineer_name=${engineer_id#*=}

echo "Start of Maintenance, sending a message to TEC to inform Production
Control"
$LCF_BINDIR/../bin/wpostemsg -m "Start of Maintenance ($engineer_name)"
maint=OPEN hostname=`hostname`
CCE_SysMaint Unix


This rule then suppresses all events from posting from this origin and
after 24 hours it takes the event that was opened and closes it based on no
action taking by the administrator to take the system out of
maintenance_mode with a stop maintanance script.

Stop Maintenance Mode Script:

#
##########################################################
########### DEFINE FILES AND VARIABLES HERE ##############
##########################################################
. /etc/Tivoli/lcf/1/lcf_env.sh
LOGFILE=/tmp/esm_stop_maintenance.log.$(date +%y.%m.%d_%H:%M)

engineer_id=""
engineer_name=""

##########################################################
############## DEFINE FUNCTIONS HERE #####################
##########################################################


##########################################################
################# BEGINNING OF MAIN ######################
##########################################################
exec > $LOGFILE 2>&1

engineer_id=`lsuser -a gecos $SUDO_USER`
engineer_name=${engineer_id#*=}

echo "End of Maintenance, sending a message to TEC to inform Production
Control"
$LCF_BINDIR/../bin/wpostemsg -m "End of Maintenance ($engineer_name)"
maint=CLOSED hostname=`hostname`
CCE_SysMaint Unix


The problem we have is that the rule doesn't not close the event after 24
hours.  With a quick glimpse, can anyone tell why the event doesn't close
after 24 hours?

Maintenance Mode Rule:

rule:  cce_suppress_maint_events:
(
  event: _ev of_class outside ['CCE_SysMaint']
  where [
    hostname: _hostname

  action: suppress_event: (
    first_instance(event: _found_ev of_class 'CCE_SysMaint'
                   where [ hostname: equals _hostname,
                           status: equals 'OPEN',
                           maint: equals 'OPEN'
                         ],
                         _ev - 86400 -0),
    set_event_status(_ev,'CLOSED'),
    bo_set_slotval(_ev,administrator,'System is in maintenance mode'),
    link_effect_to_cause(_ev,_found_ev),
    commit_set

).


%
%  End system maintenance
%

  where [ hostname: _hostname,
          maint: equals 'CLOSED'
        ],

  action: close_maintenance_windows: (
    first_instance(event: _found_ev of_class 'CCE_SysMaint'
                   where [ hostname: equals _hostname,
                           status: equals 'OPEN',
                           maint: equals 'OPEN'
                         ],
                         _ev - 86400 -0),
    link_effect_to_cause(_found_ev,_ev),
    change_event_status(_found_ev,'CLOSED'),
    bo_set_slotval(_found_ev,administrator,'Maintenance mode ended'),
    set_event_status(_ev,'CLOSED'),
    bo_set_slotval(_ev,administrator,'Maintenance mode ended'),
    commit_set
  )
).


All thoughts and suggestion are greatly appreciated.
