EEM System Information Tcl Command Extensions

Last Updated: September 06, 2011

The following conventions are used for the syntax documented on the Tcl command extension pages:

  • An optional argument is shown within square brackets, for example:

[type ?]

  • A question mark ? represents a variable to be entered.
  • Choices between arguments are represented by pipes, for example:

priority low|normal|high


Note
All EEM system information commands--sys_reqinfo_xxx--have the Set _cerrno section set to yes.

Note
For all EEM Tcl command extensions, if there is an error, the returned Tcl result string contains the error information.

Note
Arguments for which no numeric range is specified take an integer from -2147483648 to 2147483647, inclusive.

sys_reqinfo_cli_freq

Queries the frequency information of all command-line interface (CLI) events.

Syntax

sys_reqinfo_cli_freq

Arguments

None

Result String

rec_list {{CLI frequency string 0},{CLI frequency str 1}, ...}

time_sec time_msec

  • sync--A "yes" means that event publish should be performed sychronously. The event detector will be notified when the Event Manager Server has completed publishing the event. The Event Manager Server will return a code that indicates whether or not the CLI command should be executed.
  • skip--A "yes" means that the CLI command should not be executed if the sync flag is not set.

Number of occurrences must occur within this number of POSIX timer units in order to raise event; if this argument is not specified, it does not apply.

pattern
