Call Bruce

This is a script that will send a phone text message to Bruce. It should be used whenever there is an NMPDR emergency. The single parameter is the message to send. So, for example

    CallBruce "NMPDR is down. call 1-630-555-2000"

Would tell Bruce the NMPDR is down and he should call the number given for more information. If no parameter is specified, or there is no phone support on this copy of the NMPDR, then Bruce's phone number will be displayed so you can call him in person.

The currently-supported command-line options are as follows.

user

Name suffix to be used for log files. If omitted, the PID is used.

trace

Numeric trace level. A higher trace level causes more messages to appear. The default trace level is 2. Tracing will be directly to the standard output as well as to a traceUser.log file in the FIG temporary directory, where User is the value of the user option above.

sql

If specified, turns on tracing of SQL activity.

background

Save the standard and error output to files. The files will be created in the FIG temporary directory and will be named errUser.log and outUser.log, respectively, where User is the value of the user option above.

h
