Displaying Server Alerts

You can enable the server to display alert messages under various conditions, such as when NLM programs fail to relinquish control of a processor. Many alerts are controlled by server parameters that set a threshold when the alert will be generated. By default, whenever an alert is received, a bell also sounds.

To turn the bell sound off, set the following server parameter in the Miscellaneous category:

Sound Bell for Alerts = OFF

Available alert parameters are described in the following table.

Many other alerts can be generated by the system, but are not controlled by server parameters. For example, if the address of a server on the network is changed, an alert will be broadcast on other server consoles. You can control these alerts with the ALERT command. See "ALERT" in Utilities Reference.
