ppppmmmmppppoooosssstttt - append messages to the Performance Co-Pilot notice board
SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
////uuuussssrrrr////ppppccccpppp////bbbbiiiinnnn////ppppmmmmppppoooosssstttt _m_e_s_s_a_g_e
DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
ppppmmmmppppoooosssstttt will append the text _m_e_s_s_a_g_e to the end of the Performance Co-
Pilot (PCP) notice board file (/_v_a_r/_a_d_m/_p_c_p_l_o_g/_N_O_T_I_C_E_S) in an atomic
manner that guards against corruption of the notice board file by
concurrent invocations of ppppmmmmppppoooosssstttt.
The PCP notice board is intended to be a persistent store and clearing
house for important messages relating to the operation of the PCP and the
notification of performance alerts from ppppmmmmiiiieeee(1) when other notification
options are either unavailable or unsuitable.
Before being written, messages are prefixed by the current time, and when
the current day is different to the last time the notice board file was
written, ppppmmmmppppoooosssstttt will prepend the message with the full date.
If the notice board file does not exist, ppppmmmmppppoooosssstttt will create it. Due to
the importance of the notice board file, ppppmmmmppppoooosssstttt is typically installed as
a sssseeeettttuuuuiiiidddd(2) root program and so the notice board is owned by, and
writable only by, root.
