The ism_watch command brings up a terminal-based screen utility for monitoring the activity of the ISM server.
>>-ism_watch--+---------------+-------------------------------->< +- -p--polltime-+ '- -s--hostname-'
Element | Purpose | Key Considerations |
---|---|---|
-p polltime | Specifies the interval in seconds between updates of displayed activities that the ISM server performs | None. |
-s hostname | Specifies the name of the computer on which the ISM server is running | If you omit this option, this command looks first for an ISM server on the local computer and then for the first ISM server to respond over the network. |
Figure 8 illustrates a typical screen that the ism_watch command displays.
