Generating status message from RM6.

Hi Managers,

I'm administering a few Sun servers with A1000 arrays under control of
the Raid Manager 6.22 software. The problem is that array status
logging/reporting is insufficient for my needs. Servers are remotely
operated but emails sent to root account (and forwarded to where they
can be read from) contain no details about events, so in each case I
have to login, run GUI application and check status log.

Recently I tried to hack the 'rmscript' to supply output from 'healthck'
utility but there is strange effect: very invocation of 'healthck'
causes to generate 100 or so event messages. It seems that if
'arraymon' (or whatever invokes 'rmscript') detects that execution of
'rmscript' takes too long - it invokes another one. Or maybe 'healthck'
somehow causes 'rmscript' to be invoked.

Any ideas how can I get around it? Or better, maybe there's another way
to get to see 'array xxx, disk yyy failed' in my inbox? Or, at least,
is there any way via command line to get event entry (like in rmlog.log)
nicely described like in GUI?

Best regards.
