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
clearinghouse 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.
Messages are preprended with the current time, and when the current day
is different to the last time the notice board file was written, ppppmmmmppppoooosssstttt
will insert today's full date in the front of the message.
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 setuid root program and so the notice board is owned by, and writeable
only by, root.
